PLAINTIFF, JEANNIE DUTRAFEREA, (“Plaintiff”), by her attorney, Heather

15

Freeman, moves this Honorable Court to grant her unopposed motion for a thirty-two (32) day

16

enlargement of the briefing schedule through Tuesday, January 16, 2018, in order to file cross-

17

motions to reverse or remand and to affirm the Commissioner’s decision. In support of this

18

Motion, Plaintiff states as follows:

19

Pursuant to this Court’s Order (doc. 15), the cross-motions are due on

20

December 15, 2017.

This consent motion for an enlargement of the briefing schedule is

21

submitted due to a combination of counsel being asked to assist with the pending and urgent

22

caseload of a deceased attorney, and an injury to counsel’s arm that required several days off

23

work, both of which resulted in unanticipated adjustments to counsel’s briefing schedule.
