On May 18, 2020, counsel for Defendant-Intervenor/Cross-Claimant Carlin/Hecla

2

(Hecla) and Federal Defendants filed a Joint Motion for Extension of Time (ECF No. 134)

3

extending deadlines for lodging of the administrative record and for summary judgment briefing

4

in this case brought pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706 et seq. This

5

Joint Motion for Extension of Time was granted by the Court on May 28, 2020 (ECF No. 135).

6

The Motion for Extension of Time indicated that Hecla would file its opening Motion for

7

Summary Judgment on July 15, 2020. However, the parties continue to make progress on the

8

settlement of the claims in this case, which may avoid the need for further proceedings. That

9

process has taken longer than anticipated in light of logistical constraints caused by the COVID-

10

19 pandemic and the unavailability of various participants.

11

Thus, Hecla and the Federal Defendants hereby move to extend the deadlines for

12

summary judgment briefing in this case by an additional 60 days. The following deadlines

13

would apply:

14

1.

Helca to File Motion for Summary Judgment: September 14, 2020

15

2.

Federal Defendants to file Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment and Opposition to

16
17

Summary Judgment: October 30, 2020

19

Hecla to file Opposition to Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment and Reply in Support
