STIPULATION FOR A ONE DAY EXTENSION OF TIME and [PROPOSED] ORDER

JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

Whereas, Plaintiff's opening brief was due on October 23, 2018: and,

Whereas, plaintiff's counsel has found this to be an unusually complicated brief because (1) Ms. Rygg's medical issues are multiple, affecting her ears, neck, shoulders, abdomen, back, ankle and foot, (2) the conduct of the plan is unusual in that the insurance adjuster invited a second administrative appeal, which is not permitted by the plan document, creating issues of how that affects the record, (3) the Social Security decision is affected by an error of the Administrative Law Judge, which resulted in a reversal of his decision, and for all of these reasons, this brief has consumed far more hours than were anticipated; and

Whereas, counsel for plaintiff believed that he had adequately budgeted time to complete the brief in timely fashion, but because of the reasons stated above, it became apparent yesterday that that the brief would not be completed on time;

Whereas, counsel for defendants has no objection to the late filing,

Now, therefore, it is stipulated that plaintiff's opening brief may be filed today.
