REVISED STIPULATION AND 
ORDER FOR AN EXTENSION 
OF TIME 
 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties through their respective 
counsel of record, with the Court’s approval, that Defendant shall have a 30-day extension of 
time, from June 22, 2026, to July 22, 2026, to respond to Plaintiff’s opening brief. Per the 
procedural order (ECF No. 4), Plaintiff may serve and file a reply brief within 14 days after 
service of the Commissioner’s brief. 
This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of time and good cause exists for this 
extension. Defendant’ counsel has 10 district court briefs due between June 15, 2026 and July 8,

2026. Defendant’s counsel is also a part-time attorney and does not work a 40-hour week. 
Finally, once counsel reviews Plaintiff’s brief and the transcript, she may require more time to 
consult with the client and possibly Plaintiff regarding settlement options in this case and to file a 
responsive brief absent settlement. 
Defendant’s counsel will endeavor to complete these tasks as soon as possible. This 
request is made in good faith and with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings, and counsel 
apologizes for any inconvenience. 
Respectfully submitted,
