(ECF No. 119)

17

On December 18, 2020, a scheduling conference was held in this matter and a briefing

18 schedule was set for the parties to file motions for summary judgment. (ECF No. 111.) On
19 December 28, 2020, an amended order was filed. (ECF No. 112.) On January 21, 2021, Plaintiff
20 Earth Island Institute, Greenpeace, Inc., Sequoia Forest Keeper, and James Hansen filed a motion
21 for summary judgment. (ECF Nos. 115-117.) On February 17, 2021, the parties filed a joint
22 motion to modify the briefing schedule. (ECF No. 119.) Upon review of the motion, the joint
23 motion, the Court finds this matter suitable for decision without oral argument. See Local Rule
24 230(g). Accordingly, the previously scheduled hearing set on February 24, 2021, will be vacated
25 and the parties will not be required to appear at that time.
26

The parties seek to amend the briefing scheduling due to medical issues and scheduling

27 conflicts. The Court finds that good cause exists to grant the motion.
