Generally, settlement discussions do not provide good cause for modification of a Scheduling Order. See, e.g., Gerawan Farming, Inc. v. Rehrig Pacific Co., No. 11-cv-01273-LJO-BAM, 2013 WL 1164941, * 4 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 20, 2013). However, the Court will grant the brief extension of time in recognition of the recent influx of Social Security cases requiring briefing. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, Defendant shall have an extension, up to and including June 17, 2022, to file the certified administrative record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
