WHEREAS, on April 30, 2009, Plaintiff Association of Irritated Residents filed the

above-captioned matter against the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”),

alleging that EPA has failed to undertake certain nondiscretionary duties under the Clean Air

Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7401-7671q, and that such alleged failures are actionable under section

304(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7604(a)(2); 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to a private settlement of this action, thereby

reducing litigation expenses and preserving the Court’s resources;

WHEREAS, on December 30, 2009, the Court entered a Consent Decree in the abovecaptioned matter;

WHEREAS, in that Consent Decree, the deadline to file a bill of costs pursuant to local

rule 54-1 and a motion for costs of litigation, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, was set for 60

days after the entry of the Consent Decree;

WHEREAS, the parties are currently negotiating fees and believe they can resolve

informally the issue of fees and costs without a motion;

WHEREAS, any final settlement of this case must be approved by authorized officials at

the United States Department of Justice and EPA, a process that can take several weeks;

WHEREAS, the only other requested extension of time was to facilitate settlement

discussions;

WHEREAS, the parties believe that the requested extension will not adversely affect the

schedule of this case;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, the parties, by and through

their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate to the following:
