WHEREAS the parties have received the court’s minute order, dated June 11, 2015, 

indicating that the Scheduling Conference previously set for June 18, 2015 has been continued to 

Tuesday, August 18, 2015 at 9:00 AM in Courtroom 8 before Magistrate Judge Barbara 

McAuliffe; 

WHEREAS the minute order indicates that the August 18 scheduling conference may be 

continued if the “preliminary motions are not resolved before August 2015”; 

WHEREAS the parties have reached an agreement regarding the timing of one of those 

“preliminary motions” (Defendants’ stay motion); 

WHEREAS the California Air Resources Board is currently scheduled to consider adopting 

a new Low Carbon Fuel Standard at its July 22-23, 2015 hearing; and 

WHEREAS it is Defendants’ position that the new regulation, if it is adopted and becomes 

law, will replace the current Low Carbon Fuel Standard which is the subject of Plaintiffs’ 

challenges here; 

THE PARTIES THEREFORE STIPULATE, pursuant to Local Rule 143, as follows: 

THAT no briefing need occur on Defendants’ stay motion until after the August 18, 2015 

scheduling conference; 

THAT, if Defendants believe a stay remains necessary, the schedule for briefing 

Defendants’ stay motion will be set at the August 18, 2015 scheduling conference.
