CASE NO. 3:16-cv-04294-WHO

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

 Pursuant to the Case Management Conference Order (DN 19), Plaintiff Hoopa Valley 

Tribe, Defendants U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and National Marine Fisheries Service (“Federal 

Defendants”), and Defendant-Intervenors Klamath Water Users Association, Sunnyside 

Irrigation District, and Ben DuVal hereby agree and stipulate to continue the Case Management 

Conference in the above-captioned matter in light of the filing (on October 5, 2016) of Federal

Defendants’ motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay (“motion” (DN 33)).1 The instant 

stipulation is timely under the Case Management Conference Order (i.e., made “not less than ten 

days before the conference date”), and good cause exists therefore because Federal Defendants’ 

motion, if granted, could narrow the existing dispute, if not eliminate it altogether. DN 19 at 2 ¶ 

1(d). 

 WHEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate to continue the existing November 1, 2016 

Case Management Conference date until 14 days after final resolution of Federal Defendants’ 

motion (DN 33), should any Case Management Conference be necessary at that time. 

Dated: October 12, 2016

(DN 28)) to continue the Case Management Conference from the originally-scheduled date of
