UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
WANDA SMITH,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 2:17-cv-90-FtM-38CM

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon review of the parties’ Joint Motion
for Extension of Time (Doc. 24) filed on October 6, 2017. Plaintiff filed her complaint
on February 10, 2017, to which the Commissioner responded on June 5, 2017. Docs.
1, 11. The Court entered its scheduling order on June 6, 2017 and directed Plaintiff
to serve on the Commissioner her portion of the Joint Memorandum by July 21, 2017.
Doc. 14. The Court has since granted three joint requests for extension and denied
a fourth for failure to comply with Local Rule 3.01(g). Docs. 17, 19, 21, 23. Although
the Court finds good cause to grant one final extension, the Court is not inclined to
grant further extensions absent extenuating circumstances.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
The parties’ Joint Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. 24) is GRANTED. The
Plaintiff shall have up to and including October 20, 2017 to serve on the
Commissioner, but not file, Plaintiff’s portion of the Joint Memorandum.

The

Commissioner shall have up to and including December 5, 2017 to serve on the
Plaintiff, but not file, the Commissioner’s portion of the Joint Memorandum.
Counsel for the parties shall confer in a good-faith effort to resolve any disputed
issues by January 5, 2018, and file a single Joint Memorandum signed by counsel for
both parties no later than January 19, 2018.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 6th day of October, 2017.
