JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME

SHEILA K. OBERTO, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective counsel of record, that Defendant's time for responding to Plaintiff's Opening Brief be extended from July 5, 2018 to August 6, 2018. This is Defendant's first request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's Opening Brief.

Defendant requests this extension due to her counsel's intermittent absence from office due to illness in June 2018 and her upcoming leave schedule in July 2018. Defendant's counsel has been sick and intermittently out of the office since June 21, 2018, and will also be on pre-scheduled leave starting July 3, 2018, returning to office on July 9, 2018.

Defendant's counsel respectfully requests this additional time to expend the necessary time to review the record and to evaluate the issues Plaintiff raised, and to submit Defendant's response for review by this Court.

The parties further stipulate that all subsequent deadlines set forth in the Court's Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.

The parties stipulate in good faith, with no intent to prolong proceedings unduly.

ORDER

Based on the parties' stipulation, (Doc. 14), and for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant shall have until August 6, 2018, to submit a response to Plaintiff's Opening Brief. All other dates in the Scheduling Order (Doc. 4) shall be extended accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
