STIPULATION TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Phouone Chao ("Plaintiff") and defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security ("Defendant"), through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, to extend the time for Plaintiff to file Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment or Remand to December 2, 2014; and that Defendant shall have until December 31, 2014, to file his opposition. Any reply by plaintiff will be due January 21, 2015.

An extension of time is needed because Plaintiff's Counsel's Spouse undergoes chemotherapy treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer which metastasized initially to her liver and continues to progress there and in her lungs, throat, and spine which required recent hospitalization to treat. Counsel requires the additional time to file the motion for summary judgment to allow him to devote the appropriate time to assist his Spouse and his two elementary school aged children through this obviously stressful experience. Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff may have an extension of time, to and including December 2, 2014, in which to file Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment or Remand; Defendant may have an extension of time to December 31, 2014 to file his opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due January 21, 2015. No further extensions of time will be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
