This is the parties’ fourth request for an extension of time. The parties make this request 

because they are currently attempting to negotiate a settlement. 

This litigation involves allegations of violations of the United States Clean Water Act 

against all defendants. Specifically, plaintiffs allege violations of the Act as a result of 

discharges from the horse racing facility at Cal Expo. 

The parties make this request for an extension of time to disclose experts, complete 

discovery and resolve disputes concerning the same as a means of avoiding the time and 

expense of undertaking this discovery that would otherwise be necessary to prepare this case 

for trial. As attorney’s fees are at issue in this case, any additional legal services performed 

at this time necessarily impacts the parties’ ability to settle this matter without a trial. Given 

the strong likelihood of settlement, counsel believes it would be a misuse of resources to 

continue at this time with the expert discovery. 

Counsel have met and conferred on the issue, and agree that a continuance of 

approximately 45 days should be adequate for the parties to reach a consensus on and 

document the settlement points currently being discussed. This delay will also prevent the 

parties from having to engage in expensive and time-consuming discovery. 

Therefore, the parties stipulate to the following schedule, and request that the court 

order that its November 30, 2005 Order be amended to reflect the following dates, or some 

other similar dates that are more conducive to the court’s schedule: 

 

 

Jury Trial July 31, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. 

Pre-Trial Conference May 25, 2007 at 3:30 p.m. 

Last Day for Law & Motion Hearing March 2, 2007 

Discovery Completed December 8, 2006 

Expert Disclosures October 6, 2006 

Counsel will advise the court immediately upon reaching agreement on the settlement 

agreement.
