CASE NO. 2:13-cv-934-JAM-DB
STIPULATED MOTION TO EXTEND
DEADLINES RELATED TO MOTION TO
SUPPLEMENT [ECF NO. 66]
1
2
The parties respectfully submit this Stipulated Motion to Extend Deadlines Related to
Motion to Supplement [ECF No. 66].
3
On January 6, 2020, the Court adopted the Stipulation of Joint Briefing Schedule and
4
Order (First Scheduling Order), ECF No. 37, proposed by Plaintiffs and Federal Defendants.
5
Under the First Scheduling Order, if Plaintiffs moved to supplement or complete the
6
administrative records, the deadlines for briefing the parties’ cross motions for summary
7
judgment would be vacated and the parties would propose new summary judgment briefing
8
deadlines following resolution of Plaintiffs’ motion. Id. at 2.
9
Plaintiffs moved to supplement the administrative records on February 10, 2020 (First
10
Motion to Supplement). ECF No. 38. Before ruling on the First Motion to Supplement, the
11
Court granted American Forest Resource Council’s motion to intervene as a defendant. ECF No.
12
54. The Court then granted in part and denied in part the First Motion to Supplement, ECF No.
13
55, and the parties proposed a summary judgment briefing schedule consistent with the First
14
Scheduling Order, ECF No. 57. The Court adopted the parties’ proposed briefing schedule
15
(Second Scheduling Order), under which Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment was due on
16
September 4, 2020, ECF No. 58.
17
Plaintiffs filed their motion for summary judgment according to the Second Scheduling
18
Order.
19
administrative record (Second Motion to Supplement). ECF No. 66. The Second Scheduling
20
Order did not contemplate such a motion. As a result, under Eastern District Local Rule 230,
21
Federal Defendants’ and Defendant-Intervenor’s opposition to the motion would be due on
22
September 18, 2020, and Plaintiffs’ reply would be due on September 25, 2020. The parties,
23
however, agree that it would be more efficient to merge the deadlines for the Second Motion to
24
Supplement with the relevant deadlines in the Second Scheduling Order.1 Accordingly, the
25
parties respectfully request that the opposition and reply deadlines for the Second Motion to
ECF No. 61.
Plaintiffs also concurrently filed another motion to supplement the
26
27
28
1
In moving to merge these deadlines, Federal Defendants do not concede that the Second
Motion to Supplement was properly filed and expressly reserve their right to argue that the
Second Motion to Supplement is untimely under the Court’s scheduling orders.
