DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR PERMISSION

Defendant.

Defendant United States Forest Service (“USFS”) respectfully submits its Request for
17
18 Permission to Dispense with the Requirement of Filing a Statement of Undisputed Facts as required
19 under Eastern District Local Rule 260(a) because this Court’s review of Plaintiff’s claims under the
20 Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) is limited to the administrative record. “[R]equests to dispense
21 with the requirement of filing a statement of [undisputed] facts are routinely granted in this District”
22 because “[i]n APA cases, statements [of undisputed facts] are generally redundant because all relevant
23 facts are contained in the agency’s administrative record.” San Joaquin River Group. Auth. v. Nat’l
24 Marine Fisheries Serv., 819 F. Supp. 2d 1077, 1084 (E.D. Cal. 2011). Accordingly, Defendant requests
25 that the Court permit it to dispense with Local Rule 260(a)’s requirement of filing a Statement of
26 Undisputed Facts when filing its Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment.
