STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

CAROLYN K. DELANEY UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, with this Court's approval, to extend the time by 45 days, from September 15, 2023 to October 30, 2023, for Defendant to file her Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. All other dates in this Court's Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.

This is Defendant's first request for an extension of time. Plaintiff's counsel does not oppose the requested extension.

The undersigned counsel for the Commissioner respectfully submits that good cause exists for the requested extension. Due to ongoing staffing fluctuations and organizational changes, the undersigned counsel for the Commissioner has been tasked with additional duties including serving as a jurisdictional coordinator, reviewing other attorneys' work, training and mentoring new attorneys, and handling more cases, including the above-captioned matter. As a result, and despite diligent efforts to comply with this Court's Scheduling Order, counsel for the Commissioner needs an extension in the instant case to review the administrative record, consider the issues that Plaintiff has raised, confer with her client as necessary, and prepare the Commissioner's Cross-Motion.

ORDER

Pursuant to the parties' stipulation, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant shall have an extension, up to and including October 30, 2023, to submit her Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment.
