May 2, 2017 – If necessary, Initial Case Management Conference
There is good cause to establish the above schedule, given that such deadlines are

currently stayed in the related case, Hoopa Valley Tribe v. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, 3:16-cv04294-WHO, and because the parties may need additional time to decide how to proceed with
this case following the Court’s resolution of Federal Defendants’ Motion to Strike and Limit the

Scope of Review to the Administrative Record; Plaintiffs’ Motion for Partial Summary

22

Judgment; and Federal Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss in the Hoopa Valley Tribe case. The

Federal Defendants’ reserve their rights to dispute whether this case is 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.
