ADRIAN GARCIA, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME (Doc. 18)
JENNIFER L. THURSTON CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On September 20, 2021, the parties stipulated for Plaintiff to have an extension of thirty days to file a motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 18) Jonathan Pena, counsel for Plaintiff, asserts that the additional time “is necessary due [to] several merit briefs being due on the same week.” (Id. at 1-2) The Commissioner does not oppose the request, and it does not appear either party would be prejudiced by the delay. (Id. at 2) Accordingly, the Court ORDERS:
1. The extension of time (Doc. 18) is GRANTED; and
2. Plaintiff SHALL file a motion for summary judgment no later than October 20, 2021.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
