TO THE HONORABLE ERICA P. GROSJEAN, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Sherri Renee Telnas ("Plaintiff") and defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security ("Defendant"), through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate, pursuant to the Court's Scheduling Order, to extend the time for Plaintiff to provide Defendant with Plaintiff's Settlement Letter Brief to December 2, 2016; and that Defendant shall have until January 6, 2017, to provide a response.

This Court is aware that Counsel's Spouse battled Stage IV breast cancer which metastasized initially to her liver and continued to progress with tumors in her lungs, spine and brain. After exhausting all known chemotherapy treatments over 18 months ago and surviving on willful determination and profound faith alone Counsel's wife has succumbed to her illness. On September 30, 2016 Counsel gently held his wife as she relinquished her fight and passed away. Counsel required time to deal with providing the appropriate respect to his spouse and to assist his two elementary school age children return to a normal routine.

Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff. Respectfully submitted,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff may have an extension of time for Plaintiff to provide Defendant with Plaintiff's Settlement Letter Brief to and including December 2, 2016; Defendant may have an extension of time to January 6, 2017 to file her response.
