Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 79(h), the Federal Defendants must file an
administrative record “with the answer or return.”
4.
On September 14, 2018, the parties conferred telephonically pursuant to
7
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and Local Civil Rule 16. During that conference, the
8
parties discussed suggestions for the prompt and efficient resolution of the case. Since
9
September 14, 2018, the parties have continued to negotiate a series of deadlines related to
10
11
the case.
5.
Although the parties have not reached a final agreement regarding all
12
deadlines, they have agreed that the Federal Defendants may file their Answer on or before
13
October 9, 2018, and that they may file an administrative record on or before October 19,
14
2018. While the parties continue to negotiate other deadlines, and in light of the upcoming
15
deadline for the Federal Defendants to respond to Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint, the parties
16
accordingly request that the Court extend the deadlines imposed by Federal Rules of Civil
17
Procedure 12(a)(2) and 15(a)(3) and Local Civil Rule 79(h), such that the Federal Defendants
18
may file their Answer on or before October 9, 2018, and may file an administrative record on
19
or before October 19, 2018.
