DEMANDA N. ARAIZA, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME
(DOC. 17)
JENNIFER L. THURSTON, CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff filed a stipulation of the parties for an extension of time to February 26, 2022 to file a motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 17.) Plaintiff's counsel reports the additional extension is necessary due his workload, which includes 25 merits briefs due in the month of January. (Id. at 2.) Notably, it does not appear either party will suffer prejudice from the extension, and the Commissioner does not oppose the request. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS:
1. The request for an extension of time (Doc. 17) is GRANTED; and
2. Plaintiff SHALL file a motion for summary judgment no later than February 26, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
