Defendants.

 CASE NO. 1:15-cv-01368-EPG

STIPULATION AND

ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE

FOR SECRETARY OF THE

INTERIOR TO RESPOND TO FIRST 

AMENDED COMPLAINT

Plaintiff filed his original Complaint on September 8, 2015 (ECF No. 1) and served it on the 

United States Attorney’s Office on September 18, 2015. On January 12, 2016, plaintiff filed his 

First Amended Complaint (ECF No. 18) and served it on the United States Attorney’s Office on 

February 11, 2016. The First Amended Complaint added new defendants whose responsive 

pleadings are due within sixty days of the date of service. To avoid unnecessary attorney time and 

expenses and to conserve judicial resources, the parties wish to extend the time for the Secretary of 

the Interior to respond to the First Amended Complaint from February 12, 2016 to April 10, 2016, a 

date that is approximately the date when the responsive pleadings of the newly added defendants are 

due.
