Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2), the Parties hereby 

stipulate as follows: 

 WHEREAS Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s second claim for 

relief to enjoin Defendant from replacing the name, “Pala Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the Pala Reservation, California,” as it appears on the List of Federally 

Recognized Tribes (“List”), with the name, “Pala Band of Mission Indians,” is 

pending and currently set for hearing on March 8, 2016; and 

 WHEREAS, on January 29, 2016, Defendant published the 2016 List, 

which lists “the Pala Band of Mission Indians” instead of “the Pala Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation, California,” thus mooting Plaintiff’s second 

cause of action as currently pleaded; and 

 WHEREAS, on February 17, 2016, Defendant provided a written 

response denying Plaintiff’s requests that the Bureau of Indian Affairs correct its 

alleged administrative error by adding the “Agua Caliente Tribe of Cupeño Indians of 

the Pala Reservation” to the List, thereby mooting Plaintiff’s first claim for relief; and 

 WHEREAS, Plaintiff wishes to Amend its complaint to state claims for 

relief based on Defendant’s actions; and 

 WHEREAS, the parties wish to resolve Plaintiff’s claims by an Amended 

Complaint in this action, 

 NOW THEREFORE, the Parties jointly stipulate, subject to Court
