3:05-CV-00898 CRB

v.

DALE BOSWORTH, JACK BLACKWELL, 

KENT CONNAUGHTON, ARTHUR

GAFFREY,

UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE, et al.,

Defendants.

These two separate lawsuits have been filed to challenge the Federal Defendants’ Record

of Decision and Giant Sequoia National Monument Management Plan Final Environmental

Impact Statement. Case number 3:05-CV-00397 CRB has been filed by a group of

environmental organizations (the “Environmental Group Action”). Case number 3:05-CV00898 has been filed by the Attorney General of the State of California representing the People

of California (the “State Action”). The defendants named in both actions overlap. At the case

management conference on July 14, the Court excused all parties from alternative dispute

resolution processes at this time. The Court further requested that the parties prepare and submit

a stipulated briefing schedule. 

The parties in both related cases wish to avoid duplicate briefing schedules and to

streamline resolution of both cases to the extent possible. Accordingly, all of the parties in the

two related cases have met and conferred and now stipulate to this coordinated briefing schedule. 

In addition, the parties have consulted with counsel for the entities granted amici status and those

entities concur with the schedule below as it relates to the timing of their brief and response:

August 1, 2005 Environmental Group Action plaintiffs to file amended 

 complaint

August 23, 2005 Defendants agree to lodge and serve the administrative

record for both cases

August 24, 2005 Defendants to answer the complaint in the State Action

September 12, 2005 Defendants to answer the amended complaint in the

Environmental Group Action

October 21, 2005 State Action plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and

any motion to supplement the administrative record
