STIPULATION REGARDING POSTPONING FILING OF STATUS REPORT AND SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

Plaintiff Safari Club International (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Attorney General Kamala 

D. Harris and Director Charlton H. Bonham (“Defendants,” and collectively with Plaintiff, the 

“Parties”), by and through their respective counsel, jointly submit for approval this stipulation 

regarding the postponement of the status report and pretrial scheduling conference (currently set

for November 23, 2015, and December 7, 2015, respectively). In support, the Parties state the 

following:

WHEREAS, on August 6, 2014, Plaintiff filed its Complaint for Declaratory and

Injunctive Relief. The Court granted the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss but allowed Plaintiff to 

file an amended complaint. Dkt. 37. Plaintiff filed its First Amended Complaint on May 13, 

2015. Dkt. 38.

WHEREAS, on June 17, 2015, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First 

Amended Complaint. Dkt. 42. The Parties have fully briefed that motion and the Court issued 

an order cancelling the hearing that was scheduled for September 28, 2015.

WHEREAS, due to the pending motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s second amended complaint, 

the Parties believe that the filing of a joint status report by November 23, 2015, and holding of a 

pretrial scheduling conference on December 7, 2015, are premature and, in the interests of 

efficiency and conservation of judicial and party resources, should be postponed until after the 

Court has resolved the motion to dismiss. 

WHEREAS, the Court granted a similar postponement of the joint status report and 

pretrial scheduling conference on October 17, 2014 (Dkt. 17) due to a then-pending motion to 

dismiss.

WHEREAS, if the Court denies the current motion to dismiss, the Parties will confer and 

propose new dates for the joint status report and pretrial scheduling conference.

foregoing, the Parties respectfully request approval of this stipulation to grant the following 

relief:

The filing of a joint status report on November 23, 2015 and December 7, 2015 pretrial 

scheduling conference are postponed until after the Court resolves the pending motion to dismiss, 

at which time, if necessary, the Parties shall propose new dates for the joint status report and 

pretrial scheduling conference.

Dated this 20th day of October, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Douglas S. Burdin
