Joint Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Extending Deadline for Mot. for Att'ys’ Fees, No. 2:07-CV2320 GEB GGH

WHEREAS on April 14, 2010, the Court entered a consent decree in this 

litigation that eliminates the need for a trial on remedy and designates all 

Plaintiffs as “prevailing parties” within the meaning of 33 U.S.C. § 1365(d), 

and Environmental Plaintiffs as “prevailing parties” within the meaning of

42 U.S.C. § 6972(e); and 

WHEREAS the proposed consent decree states that the parties will 

attempt to resolve any claims to attorneys’ fees through negotiation; and 

WHEREAS on April 14, 2010, and again on May 26, 2010, pursuant to 

stipulations by the parties, the Court extended the deadline for all Plaintiffs 

to file a bill of costs and a motion for attorneys’ fees to facilitate the parties’ 

attempt to resolve any claims to attorneys’ fees and costs through negotiation; 

WHEREAS, the current extension of time to file a bill of costs and a 

motion for attorneys’ fees will run on July 28, 2010;

WHEREAS the Environmental Plaintiffs and Defendants have reached a 

tentative settlement agreement on the matter of attorneys’ fees and costs 

subject to required governmental review and approval processes, and believe 

that additional time is necessary to complete these review and approval 

processes; 

THEREFORE, Environmental Plaintiffs and Defendants stipulate and 

agree that Environmental Plaintiffs shall have until August 25, 2010 to file a 

bill of costs under Civil Local Rule 54-292 and to file a motion for attorneys’ 

fees under Civil Local Rule 54-293 and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

54(d)(2)(B), and request that the Court grant such extension. 

Respectfully submitted, 

For Plaintiffs
