Pursuant to Paragraph D of this Court’s Order on Joint Case Management Statement
(Doc. #41), the parties hereby submit this proposed case management schedule. The parties are
ready to schedule motions for summary judgment in this matter because no party intends to file a

4
motion to complete or supplement either of the administrative records. The parties note that they
5
6

have agreed to longer briefs because Plaintiffs’ complaint states nine separate claims for relief,

7

each of which may have a number of supporting arguments, and because there are two separate

8

federal defendants and administrative records. The parties conferred by telephone on Monday

9

June 2, 2014, and now stipulate and request of the Court an order entering the following briefing

10
11

schedule and page limits.
A. Plaintiffs shall file a motion for summary judgment and any supporting materials,

12
13
14
15
16

18

which may include standing declarations and excerpts of the administrative records,
on or before August 1, 2014. Plaintiffs’ memorandum in support of its motion for
summary judgment shall not exceed fifty (50) pages.
B. The Federal Defendants and Intervenor Fruit Growers Supply Company shall file
their responses to Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and any cross-motions for
summary judgment on or before September 5, 2014. The combined total of the

19
Federal Defendants’ and Intervenor’s response briefs and cross motions for summary
20
21
22

judgment shall not exceed fifty (50) pages.
C. Plaintiffs shall file a reply brief in support of Plaintiffs’ motion for summary

23

judgment along with a response to Defendant’s and Intervenor’s cross motion for

24

summary judgment, including any supporting materials, on or before October 8,
twenty-five (25)
2014. Plaintiffs’ reply and response brief shall not exceed thirty-five (35) pages.

summary judgment. The combined total of the Federal Defendants’ and Intervenor’s
twenty-five (25)
reply briefs shall not exceed thirty-five (35) pages.

for the Federal Defendants hereby request permission to appear at the conference via
