JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER TO MODIFY SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING DEADLINE FOR RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS FEES PURSUANT TO EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT (DKT 34).

DENNIS M. COTA, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by the parties, through their respective counsel of record, that the time for responding to Plaintiff's Motion for Attorneys Fees Pursuant to Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) be extended for thirty additional days from May 6, 2019 to June 6, 2019, with Plaintiff's reply due, on or before June 20, 2019. This is Defendant's second request for extension to modify the briefing schedule for Plaintiff's EAJA Motion. Good cause exists to grant the request for extension. Counsel for Defendant has had multiple family deaths in the recent weeks and was out on leave. Counsel for Defendant also has been out on intermittent sick leave due to her ongoing health issues. In addition, Counsel for Defendant is expected to be out the first week of May to take care of her elderly mother following her surgery. Defendant makes Joint Stipulation for Extension of Time and PO; 2:15-cv-02651-DMC this request in good faith and is still attempting to resolve the matter without further motion practice. As such, the proposed new deadline for Defendant's response to Plaintiff's EAJA Motion shall be on or before June 6, 2019, and Plaintiff's reply, if any, shall be on or before June 20, 2019.

ORDER

APPROVED AND SO ORDERED NUNC PRO TUNC TO MAY 6, 2019.
