IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENNIS BEARD and KIMBERLY 

BEARD,

Plaintiffs,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE; 

PELAYO LOGGING, INC; SIERRA 

FOREST PRODUCTS; RIGHT-A-WAY AG 

SERVICES, LCC, and DOES 1-50,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01045-GSA

STIPULATION and ORDER FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME FOR UNITED

STATES TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint August 28, 2014. (Dkt. No. 7). The parties are 

engaged in ongoing settlement discussions and hope to resolve a portion of this matter, which could 

result in the dismissal of one or more defendants, before filing responsive pleadings or engaging in 

pre-answer motion practice. The parties therefore stipulated, and the Court approved an extension of 

time for Defendants to respond to the Complaint and file any third party claims to October 24, 2014. 

(Dkt. No. 13). The Court approved a further extension up to and including November 7, 2014, for 

Defendants to respond to the Complaint and file any third party claims. (See Dkt. No. 16). It is likely 

that this matter will resolve as against the private defendants, and be dismissed as against the federal 

defendants. Therefore, Plaintiffs and the United States hereby stipulate to an extension of time of 28 

days, up to and including December 5, 2014, for the United States to respond to the Complaint and to
