UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CALIFORNIA SPORTFISHING

PROTECTION ALLIANCE, a nonprofit corporation, 

Plaintiff,

v.

Jeffrey Beard, in his 

official capacity as

Secretary of the California 

Department of Corrections and 

Rehabilitation,

Defendant.

No. 2:13-cv-00840-GEB-DAD

ORDER RE: SETTLEMENT AND 

DISPOSITION

Plaintiff filed a “Notice of Settlement” on March 9, 

2015, in which it states:

Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection 

Alliance (“CSPA”) and Defendant Jeffrey Beard 

. . . have reached settlement and executed a 

[Proposed] Consent Agreement. The settlement 

is contingent upon the expiration of the 

federal agencies’ 45-day review period. 

. . . . [I]n accordance with federal law, no 

judgment disposing of this action may be 

entered prior to 45 days following the 

receipt of the proposed consent agreement by 

the United States Department of Justice and 

the national and Region IX offices of the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency. The regulatory agencies’ review 

period will end on or about April 26, 2015; 

if any of the reviewing agencies object to 

the proposed agreement, the parties would 

require additional time to meet and confer 

and attempt to resolve the agencies’

concerns. Consequently, the parties submit 

that good cause exists to set May 26, 2015, 

as the deadline for the filing of a 

Stipulation for Approval of Consent Agreement 

and Dismissal of Plaintiff’s Claims with 

Prejudice, or a Notice that the settlement is 

null and void.

(Notice of Settlement, ECF No. 18 (citation omitted).)

Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no 

later than May 26, 2015. Failure to respond by this deadline may 

be construed as consent to dismissal of this action without 

prejudice, and a dismissal order could be filed. See E.D. Cal. R. 

160(b) (“A failure to file dispositional papers on the date 

prescribed by the Court may be grounds for sanctions.”).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 11, 2015
