STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties through their respective counsel of record, with the Court's approval, that Plaintiff shall have a 45-day extension of time, from 08/19/2019 to 10/03/2019, for Plaintiff to serve on defendant with PLAINTIFF'S OPENING BRIEF. All other dates in the Court's Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.

This is Plaintiff's third request for an extension of time. The first two extensions were for the Plaintiff's Confidential Letter Brief. During that period, Plaintiff was attempting to secure an OCR version of the Certified Administrative Record. We were able to do so after the second extension. (Doc. 16 & 17)

Good cause exists for this request. During the month of August and September, Counsel is undertaking several continuing legal education programs in addition to several merit briefs, administrative hearings, and district court hearings. On the week the brief is currently due, Plaintiff has twelve administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges, and one District Court hearing in another matter. Additionally, during the next three weeks, counsel is completing continuing education classes to continue certification as a Resource Family as part of the Fresno County's Foster Care system. Lastly, Counsel hopes to attend the legal education conference from 9/11/2019 — 9/14/2019 with the National Organization of Social Security Representatives. Defendant does not oppose the requested extension. Counsel apologizes to the Defendant and Court for any inconvenience this may cause.
