This extension is necessary because the United States was only recently served
and has not yet filed an answer or had adequate time to confer with the federal agency or

3
4 understand the facts or nature of the case sufficient to participate in a discovery
5 conference, submit initial disclosures or prepare a discovery plan. The United States’
6

answer is due on July 3, 2017. As such, the parties are requesting an extension of time

7
8

for the initial scheduling dates to allow them time to review the initial pleadings and

9 participate meaningfully in the FRCP 26 process.
10

The parties though their counsel further agree that neither party will be prejudiced

11

DATED this 2nd day of June, 2017.

ORDER

9 stipulated and agreed, it is hereby ORDERED that the initial scheduling dates are
10

extended as follows:

11

Deadline for FRCP 26(f) Conference:

07/13/2017

Initial Disclosures Pursuant to FRCP 26(a)(1):
