STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE
CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, to extend Defendant's time to file her summary judgment motion with the Court by 30 days to May 31, 2017, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the Court's Case Management Order shall be extended accordingly. This is Defendant's first request for an extension of time in this matter, and she requests it in good faith and without any intent to prolong proceedings unduly.
There is good cause for this extension request because counsel for Defendant has workload issues that preclude filing her summary judgment motion by May 1, 2017. In particular, counsel for Defendant is currently responsible for reviewing the excerpts of record and drafting the Commissioner's answering brief in two Social Security cases before the Ninth Circuit. Moreover, counsel for Defendant is currently responsible for drafting briefs and summary judgment motions and negotiating (or litigating) attorney fee matters pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act before the district courts within the Ninth Circuit. Counsel for Defendant is currently conducting discovery, drafting substantive pleadings, and preparing for a hearing in two personnel-related litigation matters pending before the Merit Systems Protection Board. Additionally, counsel for Defendant is serving on nationwide intra-agency teams charged with implementing the terms of the class action settlement reached in Hart v. Berryhill (N.D.Cal. No. 3:15-cv-623-JST) and coordinating outreach and training to the Social Security Administration's Office of Disability Adjudication and Review.
Counsel for Defendant apologizes to Plaintiff and the Court for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
ORDER
APPROVED AND SO ORDERED.
