On December 27, 2005, defendant-intervenors San Luis & Delta Mendota Water Authority, 

et al. filed an administrative motion under Civil Local Rule 3-12 to consider whether this case is 

related to a subsequently filed case pending in this District Court: Planning and Conservation 

League v. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, No. 05-3527 CW. Under Civil Local Rules 3-12(e) and 7-

11(b), any response by plaintiffs Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations/Institute for 

Fisheries Resources, et al. (collectively, “PCFFA”), to defendant-intervenors’ administrative motion 

must be filed within 3 days – in this case by December 30, 2005. 

As set forth in the accompanying Declaration of Gregory C. Loarie, counsel of record for 

PCFFA, Michael R. Sherwood and Andrea A. Treece, are out of the office during the week of the 

December 27, 2005 and are not expected to return until January 3, 2006. Accordingly, pursuant to 

Civil Local Rule 6-2(a), PCFFA respectfully requests that the Court enlarge the time for filing its 

response by three business days to January 5, 2006. Undersigned counsel for defendant-intervenors

stipulates to the requested extension. PCFFA was unable to reach counsel for Federal Defendants.
