Pursuant to the Court’s January 15, 2014 Order, see ECF No. 83, the parties are to submit a

24
25

No. 75) requires the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) to release certain materials that it
previously asserted were protected by Exemption 4 along with other exemptions. Because of the

26

competing work commitments of government counsel, the parties were unable to finalize their joint
report and have stipulated to and request a short two-day extension to file the joint report.
