STIPULATION TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE; ORDER THEREON

SANDRA M. SNYDER, Magistrate Judge.

TO THE HONORABLE SANDRA M, SNYDER, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Jessica R. Clingenpeel ("Plaintiff") and defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security ("Defendant"), through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate, subject to approval of the Court, to extend the time for Plaintiff to file Plaintiff's Opening Brief to November 10, 2014; and that Defendant shall have until December 10, 2014, to file her opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due December 24, 2014.

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 Joint Position Statement 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 November 10, 2014, in which to file Plaintiff's Opening Brief; Defendant may have an extension of time to December 10, 2014 to file her opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due December 24, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
