STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADING

(1:09-CV-1053 OWW DLB)

This Stipulation and Order to Extend Time to File Responsive Pleading is entered into by 

and between plaintiff State Water Contractors (SWC) and State Real Parties in Interest California 

Department of Water Resources (DWR) and DWR’s Director, Lester Snow (collectively, DWR). 

The parties to this Stipulation hereby stipulate, by and through their respective counsel, as 

follows: 

WHEREAS, on or about December 10, 2009, SWC filed and served an Amended 

Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (the Amended Complaint); 

WHEREAS, the Amended Complaint contains no new allegations relating to DWR as 

compared to SWC’s original Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief, filed on or about 

August 6, 2009. DWR responded to the original SWC Complaint by Answer filed and served on 

September 16, 2009; 

WHEREAS, in response to this Court’s comments in the Delta Smelt Cases pending in this 

Court, DWR is in the process of obtaining approval to file a complaint in intervention, which 

DWR intends to file by the end of January 2010. It is DWR’s position that a response to the 

Amended Complaint will be unnecessary once DWR files a complaint in intervention; and 

WHEREAS, for protective purposes, the parties to this Stipulation would like to extend 

DWR’s time to file a response to the Amended Complaint to February 5, 2010, by which time a 

complaint in intervention should be filed. 

THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated that: 

In consideration of DWR’s intent to file a complaint in intervention, DWR’s time to file a 

responsive pleading to the Amended Complaint shall be extended so that DWR’s responsive 

pleadings, if any, may be filed and served by no later than February 5, 2010.
