Stipulation and [Proposed] Order

Extending Time to File Joint Status Report

No.: 2:05-cv-00629-LKK-GGH

2

By Order dated June 8, 2005, the Court stayed all proceedings in this case until July 31, 

2005, by which date the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”) was scheduled to issue the final 

rule required by Butte Environmental Council, et al. v. Norton, No. 2:04-cv-00096-WBS-KJM, 

slip op. at 25 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 29, 2004). The Court directed the parties to file a Joint Status

Report within 14 days after the expiration of the stay proposing a schedule for further

proceedings.

FWS has indicated that the final rule will be published in the Federal Register on August 

11, 2005. See http://www.fws.gov/pacific/sacramento/ (last visited August 9, 2005) (copy 

attached as Exhibit A). Therefore, pursuant to Local Rules 83-143 and 6-144(a), the parties 

stipulate that the due date for filing the Joint Status Report should be extended to and including

September 9, 2005, so that the parties will have sufficient time to analyze the rule and confer

prior to proposing a schedule for further proceedings.

Respectfully submitted this 10th day of August, 2005.
