SARAH MCGEORGE, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER RE STIPULATION EXTENDING BRIEFING SCHEDULE
(ECF NO. 17)
On November 9, 2021, a stipulation was filed requesting to extend the time for Plaintiff to file an opening brief by a period of sixty (60) days, which would extend the deadline from November 12, 2021, to January 11, 2022. (ECF No. 17.) Counsel proffers that good cause exists because: counsel has recently received a greater number of answers and certified administrative records from Defendant in this district; counsel has a greater than usual number of merit briefs due in November and December of 2021, in addition to administrative hearings and preplanned vacation days; and counsel has year-end business reviews to conduct as CEO of his law firm. (Id.) While the Court usually prefers extensions of thirty (30) days at a time, given all of the proffered circumstances, the Court finds good cause to grant the sixty (60) day extension.
Accordingly, pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's opening brief shall be filed on or before January 11, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
