Pursuant to the Case Management Conference Order (DN 19), Plaintiff Hoopa Valley
Tribe, Defendants U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and National Marine Fisheries Service (“Federal
Defendants”), and Defendant-Intervenors Klamath Water Users Association, Sunnyside
Irrigation District, and Ben DuVal hereby agree and stipulate to continue the Case Management
Conference in the above-captioned matter in light of the filing (on October 5, 2016) of Federal

1

Defendants’ motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay (“motion” (DN 33)).1 The instant

2

stipulation is timely under the Case Management Conference Order (i.e., made “not less than ten

3

days before the conference date”), and good cause exists therefore because Federal Defendants’

6

motion, if granted, could narrow the existing dispute, if not eliminate it altogether. DN 19 at 2 ¶
1(d).

WHEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate to continue the existing November 1, 2016

8

Case Management Conference date until 14 days after final resolution of Federal Defendants’

9

motion (DN 33), should any Case Management Conference be necessary at that time.
