JOINT STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME

KANDIS WESTMORE, 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 Motion for Summary Judgment be extended from November 7, 2018 to December 12, 2018. This is Defendant's first request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment.

Defendant requests this extension due to her counsel's heavy workload. Defendant's counsel is currently responsible for a Social Security appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in addition to six cases that require imminent briefing in the United States District Courts for the Eastern District, Northern District and Southern District of California, as well as legal opinion assignments that advise components within the Social Security Administration in the administration of benefits under the Social Security Act. Defendant's counsel will also be out of the office from November 19 to November 23 for Thanksgiving holiday.

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

The parties further stipulate that all subsequent deadlines set forth in the Court's Procedural Order for Social Security Review Actions shall be extended accordingly.

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

ORDER

APPROVED AND SO ORDERED.
