YEN LILY HO, Plaintiff, v. KILILO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO MOTION TO REMAND
Defendant, Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (the “Commissioner”), by and through her undersigned attorneys, hereby moves for a 35-day extension of time to file her response to Plaintiff's motion to remand. The response is due to be filed by April 18, 2023. This is the Commissioner's first request for an extension of time to file the response.
Defendant submits that good cause exists for this extension request because the attorney tasked with writing the response was recently assigned to this case and has several concurrent deadlines, and therefore needs sufficient time to review the record, evaluate the issues raised in Plaintiff's motion to remand, and prepare Defendant's response. 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. Accordingly, Defendant requests an extension in which to respond to file the response until May 23, 2023.
The undersigned conferred with Plaintiff's counsel, who confirmed on April 12, 2023, that Plaintiff has no objection to the requested extension.
It is therefore respectfully requested that Defendant be granted an extension of time to file the response to Plaintiff's motion to remand, through and including May 23, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
