STIPULATION TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

TO THE HONORABLE KENDALL J. NEWMAN, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Angela Closson ("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 July 11, 2014; and that Defendant shall have until August 11, 2014, to file her opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due August 18, 2014.

A second extension of time for plaintiff is needed due to a serious illness. Plaintiff's Counsel's Spouse recently began weekly chemotherapy treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer which metastasized initially to her liver and continues to spread to her lungs and spine. Counsel requires the additional time to file the Joint Stipulation 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 July 11, 2014, in which to file Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment or Remand; Defendant may have an extension of time to August 11, 2014 to file her opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due August 18, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
