Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12, the parties, Plaintiff, Tsi Akim Maidu of Taylorsville 

Rancheria, and Defendants, United States Department of the Interior, Sarah Jewell, in her official 

capacity as Secretary of the Interior, and Lawrence S. Roberts, in his official capacity as Principal 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs of the United States Department of the Interior,

(collectively, “Federal Defendants”), by and through their respective counsel, stipulate to extend the

time for Defendants to respond to Plaintiff’s complaint and to continue the initial case management 

conference scheduled for March 16, 2017. The parties state as follows:

1. On December 15, 2016, Plaintiff filed this action challenging Defendants’ determination 

that as a matter of law Plaintiff lost status as a federally recognized Indian tribe when the United States 

sold the Taylorsville Rancheria in 1966 pursuant to Congressional mandate. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff seeks 

injunctive, declaratory, and mandamus relief to compel Defendants to find that Plaintiff never lost its 

status as a federally recognized Indian tribe;

2. On December 21, 2016, the U.S. Attorney’s Office received by certified mail a copy of 

the summons and the complaint, making February 21, 2017, the deadline for Defendants to answer or 

otherwise respond to the complaint;

3. Defendants have been evaluating the claims raised in the complaint, but require 

additional time for their review;

4. The parties have conferred and agree to extend the time for Defendants to answer or 

otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s complaint by approximately 60 days, from the current deadline of 

February 21, 2017, to April 20, 2017; 

5. By Order dated December 19, 2016, the Court set an initial case management conference 

at 11:00 a.m. on March 16, 2017. ECF No. 5. The parties further stipulate to continue the initial case 

management conference from March 16, 2017 to May 25, 2017;

6. No prior extensions of time have been requested or granted; 

7. This change will not alter the date of any other event or deadline already fixed by Court 

order, other than the date of the initial case management conference.
