STIPULATION TO MODIFY BRIEFING SCHEDULE; ORDER
GARY S. AUSTIN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Jose A. Rodriguez ("Plaintiff") and defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting 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 May 28, 2015; and that Defendant shall have until June 29, 2015, to file his opposition. Any reply by plaintiff will continue to be due July 7, 2015.
A final extension of time is needed by Plaintiff's counsel to allow additional time to fully research the issues presented. Counsel notes that the modified briefing schedule continues to require any reply brief to be filed by the same July 7, 2015 date as previously set by this Court. Consequently, the modification results in a reduction of time for Counsel to prepare any reply and does not extend the time for this matter to be submitted to the Court for decision. Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff.
ORDER
Based on the above stipulation, Plaintiff may have an extension of time to file his Opening Brief. Plaintiff's Opening Brief, which was filed on May 28, 2015, is deemed timely filed. Defendant shall file her opposition brief on or before June 29, 2015. Any reply by plaintiff will continue to be due by July 7, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
