STIPULATION TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Doc. 17

GARY S. AUSTIN, Magistrate Judge.

TO THE HONORABLE GARY S. AUSTIN, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Ge H. Vang ("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 January 23, 2015; and that Defendant shall have until February 23, 2015, to file his opposition. Any reply by plaintiff will be due March 10, 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.

ORDER

Based on the parties' stipulation set forth above, Plaintiff shall have an extension of time, to and including January 23, 2015, 2014, in which to file Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment or Remand; Defendant shall file any opposition on or before February 23, 2015; Plaintiff shall file any reply on or before March 10, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
