In support of this Stipulation showing good cause, the parties through Counsel

advise the Court of the following:

This stipulation would not change the hearing date of November 7, 2005, at 10:00

a.m. in Courtroom 4, set by Order of this Court on July 21, 2005. This stipulation also

would not change the dates for briefing established by the same Order. The only change

effected by this new schedule would be to change the briefing from concurrent to

sequential. The stipulated change would allow the parties to focus on the challenges to

the agency action actually pursued by Plaintiffs and would eliminate unnecessary briefing

of issues by the agency in a separate, concurrent summary judgment motion, that are not

actually the focus of Plaintiffs’ challenges, as reflected and guided by what Plaintiffs will

actually assert in their Opening Brief. The change would lead to one less brief and also to

shorter briefs, focused solely on the issues actually pursued and as articulated by plaintiffs

following their review of the Administrative Record (which Record was lodged May 4,

2005, and supplemented June 22, 2005).

Respectfully submitted,
