Stipulated Request to Extend Federal Defendants’ Responsive Pleading Deadline and the Case Management
Conference Deadline

1

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff, Federal Defendants, and Defendant-

2

Intervenors hereby jointly request by stipulation to: (1) extend the deadline for the parties to

3

have a Case Management Conference, see ECF No. 42; (2) extend the deadline for Federal

4

Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint, ECF

5

No. 87; and (3) establish case management deadlines relating to the Rule 26(f) Report,

6

completing initial disclosures, filing a Case Management Statement, and participating in an

7

ADR Phone Conference. The parties request that the Court establish the following deadlines:

8



9

April 3, 2017 – Deadline for Federal Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to
Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint, ECF No. 87.

10



11

April 21, 2017 – Last day to: file Rule 26(f) Report1, complete initial disclosures or
state objection in Rule 26(f) report, and file Case Management Statement per Standing

12

Order re Contents of Joint Case Management Statement
13



15

April 28, 2017 – Deadline to participate in ADR Phone Conference



14

May 2, 2017 – If necessary, Initial Case Management Conference

16

There is good cause to establish the above schedule, given that similar deadlines have

17

already been established in the related case, Yurok Tribe v. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, 3:16-

18

cv-06863-WHO, and because the parties may need additional time to decide how to proceed

19

with this case following the Court’s February 8, 2017 Order. See ECF No. 102. The Court has

20

previously granted the following requests for extension of time in this case: (1) Stipulation re:

21

Case Management Scheduling Order, ECF Nos. 29, 42; (2) Stipulation to Enlarge Time for

22

Federal Defendants’ Reply In Support of Their Motion to Dismiss, ECF Nos. 43, 54; and (3)

23

Request to Extend Time to Respond to Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, ECF

24

No. 82. The parties do not believe that granting this stipulation will adversely affect any existing

25

deadlines in the case.

28

1

Federal Defendants preserve for the record their objection to this case being subject to initial disclosures and all
other discovery related deadlines on the grounds that this is an action for review on an administrative record. See
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A); (a)(1)(B)(i); (f)(1).
