CRAIG M. KELLISON, Magistrate Judge.
TO THE HONORABLE CRAIG M. KELLISON, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:
Plaintiff Lonnie Stevenson Armstrong ("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 February 17, 2016; and that Defendant shall have until March 18, 2016, to file her opposition. Any reply by plaintiff will be due April 7, 2016.
An extension of time for plaintiff is needed in order to allow Counsel to deal with complications arising from his Spouse's terminal illness which required her to undergo spinal surgery on January 8, 2016. 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 February 17, 2016, in which to file Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment or Remand; Defendant may have an extension of time to March 18, 2016 to file his opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due April 7, 2016.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
