JOINT STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE DEFENDANT'S CROSS-MOTION TO AFFIRM.
PEGGY A. LEEN, District Judge.
Plaintiff Tamara F. Giles (Plaintiff) and Defendant Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (the Commissioner), stipulate, with the approval of this Court, to an extension of time for the Commissioner to file her Cross-Motion To Affirm by thirty days from March 9, 2017 to April 10, 2017, with all other dates in this Court's Scheduling Order extended accordingly. This is the Commissioner's second request for an extension.
There is good cause because, since the Commissioner's prior extension, counsel has been out of the office on approved leave for more than one month. Since returning to the office, the Commissioner's counsel has been handling a large number of District Court cases in addition to this one, with three other briefs due this week, two due next week, and two due the following week. Further, counsel has numerous other deadlines this month, including ongoing discovery in an employment case and a hearing in an administrative matter next week. As a result, the Commissioner needs additional time to properly respond to the issues Plaintiff raised in his Motion For Reversal And/Or Remand. Counsel apologizes for the delay and makes this request in good faith. Plaintiff has no objection.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DEFENDANT'S CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I certify that I caused the Joint Stipulation For Extension Of Time To File Defendant's Cross-Motion To Affirm (Second Request) to be served, via CM/ECF notice, on.
