JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY BRIEFING SCHEDULE

ON MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD AND ORDER 

[PROPOSED] 2 CASE NO. 3:06 CV-04884 SI

 

1. On April 5, 2007, the federal defendants, U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM),

et al., filed the Administrative Record for the West Mojave (WEMO) Plan. Doc. 56. Since then,

BLM has filed two supplements to the WEMO record on August 10 and September 7, 2007,

respectively. Doc. 66, Doc. 80. On August 13, 2007, the parties filed a joint stipulation to set a

schedule for briefing on a motion to supplement the WEMO record, which the plaintiffs anticipated

filing. Doc. 67. On August 15, 2007, the court approved that schedule. Doc. 69. Pursuant to that

schedule, the plaintiffs, Center for Biological Diversity, et al., filed a “Motion to Complete the

Administrative Record and to Compel Defendants to Search for and Produce Record Documents.” 

Doc. 70. The plaintiffs noted their motion for hearing on October 5, 2007. On September 4, 2007,

the court sua sponte issued a notice postponing the hearing date on plaintiffs’ motion from October

5 to October 19, 2007. Doc. 77. Under the current schedule, the BLM’s response to the plaintiffs’

motion is due on Friday, September 14, with the plaintiffs’ reply due on September 21, 2007.

2. On September 10, 2007, counsel for the BLM contacted plaintiffs’ counsel and

requested an extension of time of five calendar days, from Friday, September 14, until Wednesday,

September 19, 2007, to file the federal defendants’ response. The reason for the requested extension

is to accommodate scheduling conflicts that have arisen, as well as personal commitments of federal

defendants’ counsel that will require the additional time. Counsel for BLM proposed a comparable

extension of five days for the plaintiffs’ reply, from Friday, September 21, until Wednesday,

September 26, 2007. Even with the additional five days in the schedule, all briefing on the

plaintiffs’ motion will be completed 23 days before the hearing on October 19, 2007.

3. The plaintiffs’ counsel has agreed to the federal defendants’ request to modify the

briefing schedule to allow each side an additional five days, as discussed in ¶ 2, above.

RELIEF REQUESTED

The parties to this joint stipulation request that the court modify the schedule for briefing on

the plaintiffs’ motion to compel as follows: 

• September 19 – Opposition to motion to supplement the record on Box issues
