ORDER [Dkt. 219]; AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 1

RECITALS

A. On March 26, 2007, the Court entered a scheduling order directing the United

States and State Officials to engage in further briefing in the above-captioned “State Cases.” 

See Scheduling Order, Dkt. 219.

B. That Order directed the United States and State Officials to (i) complete any 

outstanding briefing in the State Cases by April 5, 2007; (ii) file consolidated briefs addressing

Ninth Circuit law and other matters not previously addressed by April 26, 2007; and (iii) file

responses to the other side’s consolidated brief by May 27, 2007. See id.

C. Because May 27, 2007, is a Sunday on a holiday weekend, the United States and

State Officials agreed to file the responses contemplated in the scheduling order on the previous

Friday, May 25, 2007. 

D. Neither the United States, nor the State Officials has previously sought to modify

this Scheduling Order [Dkt. 219], and the requested modification does not seek to alter the date

of the June 14, 2007 hearing in these cases.

STIPULATION

The United States, through its attorneys of record, and the State Officials, through their

attorneys of record, hereby stipulate to the following modification of the schedule and request

that the Court make this stipulation an order of the Court:

1. The United States and State Officials shall e-file their responses to the opposing

side’s consolidated brief no later than May 25, 2007.

DATED: May 1, 2007 Respectfully Submitted,
