Stipulated Motion and Order for Continuance of Briefing Schedule
Case No. 2:12-cv-01710-TLN-CKD

1

Federal Defendants, the United States Department of the Interior, Sally Jewell, Secretary

2

of the Interior (“Secretary”), and Kevin K. Washburn, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs

3

(“Assistant Secretary”) (collectively, “Federal Defendants”), by and through their undersigned

4

counsel, hereby move for a two week continuance of the June 26, 2014 date by which Federal

5

and Intervenor Defendants shall file their Cross-Motions Summary Judgment together with

6

memoranda in support, which memoranda shall include oppositions to Plaintiff County of

7

Amador’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Memorandum in Support. Amended Pretrial

8

Order, ECF 62.

9

Good cause exists as Federal Defendants’ counsel, Judith Rabinowitz, is in need of

10

emergency oral surgery and just this morning was informed of the surgeon’s ability to work her

11

into his schedule on Friday, June 20th.

12

Further, upon conferral with Intervenor Defendant’s counsel, Timothy Evans, she was

13

informed that he has pre-scheduled travel the week of June 30th through July 4th, hence a two

14

week extension is sought to accommodate both of these circumstances.

15

Counsel for Plaintiff County of Amador, Christopher Skinnell, has indicated his non-

16

opposition to the proposed two-week extension up to and including, July 10, 2014, of the

17

deadline for the aforementioned pleadings to be filed, contingent on two weeks being added to

18

the County’s current combined Opposition and Reply deadline of August 21, 2014.

19

Accordingly, all counsel have agreed that this Motion should seek extension of all remaining

20

deadlines in the Court’s Amended Pretrial Order by two weeks such that the County’s

21

Opposition and Reply would be due on September 4, 2014, and the Defendants’ Replies would

22

be due by October 16, 2014.
