(SS) Huff v. Commissioner of Social Security

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

5 6 JARED WAYNE HUFF, CASE NUMBER: 1:20-cv-00821-GSA 7 Plaintiff, ORDER GRANTING PARTIAL v. EXTENSION OF DEFENDANT’S RESPONSE BRIEF DEADLINE KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Commissioner of Social Security,

11 Defendant.

13 The parties stipulate to a 45-day extension extension of time from October 29, 2021 to December 13, 2021 for Defendant to file a response brief. The Scheduling Order allows for a single extension of thirty days by the stipulation of the parties. Doc. 7 at 3. Beyond the single extension by stipulation, “requests to modify [the scheduling] order must be made by written motion and will be granted only for good cause.” Id. When considering whether good cause exists to modify a scheduling order, courts consider the foreseeability of the impediment to meeting the deadline and the party’s diligence in seeking the extension once it became apparent they could not meet the deadline.
