STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE
TO THE HONORABLE SHELIA K. OBERTO, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:
Plaintiff Samuel P. Martinez ("Plaintiff") and defendant Michael Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security ("Defendant"), through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, to extend the time for Plaintiff to file Plaintiff's Opening Brief to October 10, 2011; and that Defendant shall have until November 9, 2011, to file his opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due November 23, 2011.
An extension of time for plaintiff is needed due to a serious illness in Counsel's family. An extension of time for plaintiff is needed due to a serious illness in Counsel's family. On June 21, 2011, Counsel's Spouse started chemotherapy to treat a diagnosis of Stage IV breast cancer. As a result of the sudden onset of what is obviously a serious illness Counsel requires additional time to assist his Spouse through this obviously stressful experience.
Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff.
Respectfully submitted,
