IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENNIS BEARD and KIMBERLY 

BEARD,

Plaintiffs,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE; 

PELAYO LOGGING, INC; SIERRA 

FOREST PRODUCTS; RIGHT-A-WAY AG 

SERVICES, LCC, and DOES 1-50,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01045-GSA

STIPULATION and ORDER 

EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND TO 

COMPLAINT AND TO FILE ANY 

THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint August 28, 2014. (Dkt. No. 7). The parties are 

engaged in ongoing settlement discussions and hope to resolve a portion of this matter, which could 

result in the dismissal of one or more defendants, before filing responsive pleadings or engaging in 

pre-answer motion practice. The parties therefore stipulated, and the Court approved an extension of 

time for Defendants to respond to the Complaint and file any third party claims to October 24, 2014. 

(Dkt. No. 13). Since that time, the parties have exchanged settlement offers and continue to make 

progress toward resolution. The parties therefore request a further extension of time of two weeks, up 

to and including November 7, 2014, for Defendants to respond to the Complaint and file any third 

party claims.
