Plaintiffs’ Statement

Humboldt Baykeeper, and Ecological Rights Foundation (hereinafter “Plaintiffs”) make

the following statement. CUE VI filed a motion to intervene on December 22, 2006. The hearing

date for the motion to intervene was set for March 16, 2007, thus Plaintiffs’ brief in opposition

was to be due on or before February 23, 2007 and CUE VI’s reply brief was to be due on or

before March 2, 2007. On January 3, 2007, this Court issued an expedited briefing schedule on

CUE VI’s motion to intervene. The Court ordered that Plaintiffs’ briefs in opposition be filed by

January 17, 2007 and that CUE VI’s reply brief be filed by January 24, 2007. In its order, the

Court invited the Parties to modify the briefing schedule if necessary upon a showing of good

cause. Lead counsel for Plaintiffs, Ms. Layne Friedrich, is out of the country from January 8,

2007 until January 19, 2007 and thus will be unable to participate in briefing the motion to

intervene prior to the date requested by the Court. Plaintiffs believe that it is appropriate to

modify the briefing schedule such that lead counsel for Plaintiffs will be available to review and

finalize Plaintiffs’ brief in opposition to CUE VI’s motion to intervene. The Parties have

conferred on a mutually acceptable briefing schedule for the motion to intervene and now agree to

modify the briefing schedule as stipulated below.

CUE VI’s Statement

Plaintiffs have requested additional time to respond to CUE VI's motion to intervene. In a

spirit of cooperation, CUE VI has agreed to stipulate to additional time.

Stipulation

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the undersigned

attorneys for the parties and CUE VI, subject to the Court’s approval, that:

1. The briefing schedule for CUE VI’s motion to intervene will be as follows:

a. Plaintiffs’ Opposition Brief will be due on January 24, 2007.

b. CUE VI’s Reply Brief will be due on January 31, 2007.

Dated: January 16, 2007 Respectfully submitted,
