CHERYL PIERCE, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S
REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF
TIME TO FILE CONFIDENTIAL
LETTER BRIEF
(Docket No. 14)
On November 16, 2012, Plaintiff filed a stipulation requesting an extension of time to serve her confidential letter brief on Defendant. (Doc. 16.) Plaintiff seeks an extension of time as a result of having experienced technical difficulties in obtaining a copy of the Administrative Record through ECF. (Doc. 16.)
This request is granted, and the scheduling order is modified as follows:
1. Plaintiff's confidential letter brief shall be served on or before December 31, 2012;IT IS SO ORDERED.
2. Commissioner's confidential letter brief shall be served on or before February 7, 2013;
3. Any stipulation to remand the case shall be filed on or before February 25, 2013;
4. Plaintiff's opening brief shall be filed on or before March 12, 2013;
5. Commissioner's responsive brief shall be filed on or before April 15, 2013; and
6. Plaintiff may file a reply brief on or before May 3, 2013.
The parties are reminded that the Scheduling Order has been amended and now requires that counsel file a separate proof of service with the Court reflecting the date that a party's confidential letter brief was served on the opposing party. The confidential letter briefs themselves are not to be filed with the Court.
These dates reflect application of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(a)(1)(C), 6(a)(6)(A), and 6(d); no additional days are to be added pursuant to Rule 6.
