IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KLAMATH RIVERKEEPER, a nonprofit

public benefit corporation, HOWARD

McCONNELL, LEAF G. HILLMAN,

ROBERT ATTEBERY, and BLYTHE REIS, 

Plaintiffs,

 v.

PACIFICORP, INC., an Oregon Corporation, 

Defendant. /

No. C 07-06199 WHA

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

The order dated February 22, 2008, stated: “If within seven calendar days all plaintiffs’

counsel sign and file a written undertaking to be jointly and severally responsible for all such

incremental costs and fees attributable to the delay, then consolidation shall be allowed . . . If

plaintiffs’ counsel do not so agree, then this action shall be dismissed. The case schedule shall

remain unchanged subject only to a motion to amend by the defense, which motion should be

made, if at all, within 28 days” (Dkt. No. 27). 

A notice dated March 3, 2008, informed plaintiffs’ counsel that they had not signed and

filed a written undertaking by that point. The notice further stated, “Unless plaintiffs’ counsel

advise the Court by Wednesday, March 5, 2008, at noon, that there has been a mistake in its

understanding of the record, the Court intends to follow its original ruling by vacating all

pending dates in this action and dismissing the action” (Dkt. No. 38). Plaintiffs’ counsel has

not filed anything with the Court. Accordingly, all pending dates in this action are VACATED

and the action is DISMISSED.

In McConnell et al. v. Pacificorp, C 07-02382 WHA, the caption should revert back to

its original form and that case shall proceed on its original schedule. The Court understands

that the lawsuit in McConnell will proceed with respect to the claims allowed in the order dated

August 16, 2007, except for Robert Attebery (per the stipulation and order for dismissal dated

March 4, 2008). The new action, Klamath v. Pacificorp, C 07-6199 WHA, is completely

dismissed pursuant to the order dated February 22, 2008. If any counsel believe that the status

of the case(s) is any different that what is stated herein, please notify the Court immediately.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 6, 2008.
