On October 19, 2006, the Court held a Status Conference in this matter, at which the parties 

advised the Court that negotiations concerning possible resolution of some or all issues in this case 

have reached an impasse. Federal Defendants further advised the Court that they intend to file a 

motion to consolidate this case with Natural Resources Defense Council v. Kempthorne, No. 05-CV01207 OWW LJO, and a motion to dismiss this case. Plaintiffs advised the Court that they would 

oppose both motions. Defendant-Intervenors advised the Court that they intend to file a motion to 

stay further proceedings in the case and may also join in the Federal Defendants’ Motion to 

Consolidate. 

Now, therefore, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. Federal Defendants’ Motion to Consolidate, lodged with the Court on October 13, 

2006, shall be deemed filed as of October 19, 2006. 

2. Federal Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss shall be filed no later than November 1, 2006. 

3. Defendant-Intervenors’ Motion for Stay, and any joinder in the Federal Defendants’ 

Motion to Consolidate, shall be filed no later than November 1, 2006. 

4. Responses to all motions shall be filed no later than November 15, 2006. 

5. Replies in support of all motions shall be filed no later than November 22, 2006. 

6. The Court will hear the motions on December 7, 2006, at 9:00 a.m. 

7. The time period within which Federal Defendants and Defendant-Intervenors must 

answer or otherwise respond to the First Amended Complaint, filed September 11, 2006, and within 

which the Federal Defendants must supplement the Administrative Record, shall be stayed until 

further order of the Court.
