Plaintiff filed a “Notice of Settlement” on March 9,
2015, in which it states:
Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection
Alliance (“CSPA”) and Defendant Jeffrey Beard
. . . have reached settlement and executed a
[Proposed] Consent Agreement. The settlement
is contingent upon the expiration of the
federal agencies’ 45-day review period.
. . . . [I]n accordance with federal law, no
judgment disposing of this action may be
entered prior to 45 days following the
receipt of the proposed consent agreement by
the United States Department of Justice and
the national and Region IX offices of the
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency.
The
regulatory
agencies’
review
period will end on or about April 26, 2015;
if any of the reviewing agencies object to
the proposed agreement, the parties would
require additional time to meet and confer
and
attempt
to
resolve
the
agencies’

concerns. Consequently, the parties submit
that good cause exists to set May 26, 2015,
as the deadline for the filing of a
Stipulation for Approval of Consent Agreement
and Dismissal of Plaintiff’s Claims with
Prejudice, or a Notice that the settlement is
null and void.
