WHEREAS, CSPA filed its Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and Civil 

Penalties (“Complaint”) on April 12, 2012; 

WHEREAS, the last date for CSPA to serve its Complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 4(m) is August 10, 2012; 

WHEREAS, CSPA and Scotts agree that there is good cause to grant an extension of 

CSPA’s time to serve its Complaint as CSPA and Scotts have been, and continue to be, engaged in 

ongoing and productive settlement discussions;

WHEREAS, the parties require further time to engage in these settlement discussions, which 

involve, inter alia, several issues related to the management of storm water discharges;

WHEREAS, in the interests of justice CSPA and Scotts would like to resolve their dispute 

informally, without the attendant costs and deadlines of litigation;

WHEREAS, CSPA and Scotts do not foresee any reason(s) that would require any further 

stipulations to extend the time for CSPA to serve its Complaint;

WHEREAS, CSPA and Scotts have agreed that this stipulation shall not be construed as a 

waiver of any kind;

WHEREAS, CSPA and Scotts agree that Scotts is signing this stipulation for the limited and 

only purpose of agreeing to an extension of CSPA’s time to serve its Complaint and that it shall not 

constitute an appearance in this action for any other purpose whatsoever;
