STIPULATION TO RESCHEDULE

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

22

23 Plaintiffs Sierra Club and Improving Kids' Environment, Defendant, Stephen L. Johnson, in

24 his official capacity as Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and

25 Intervenor Association of Battery Recyclers, Inc., hereby respectfully and jointly request, pursuant to

26 Local Rule 16.2(d), that the case management conference curently set for Januar 25,2007 be

27 rescheduled for February 22,2006. The parties have good cause for this request. In support hereof,

28 the paries state as follows:

AND ORDER

Case 4:06-cv-05641-PJH Document 34 Filed 01/11/07 Page 1 of 5
1 1. The complaint in this case was filed in September 2006. Defendant timely answered,

2 as has Intervenor. This matter is currently set for a case management conference on Januar

3 25,2007. The paries jointly request that the case management conference be rescheduled for

4 Februar 22, 2007.

5 2. The. parties have already met and conferred several times on case management issues.

6 The parties reached agreement on some issues, including the most effective ADR method

7 (mediation), and are continuing to meet and confer on the remaining case management issues.

8 3. On December 4, 2006, this Cour issued an Order referring this matter to mediation

9 and setting a 90-day deadline for the ADR session (March 4,2007). The Court's ADR Case

10 Administrator has recently advised the paries that Michael Dickstein of Dickstein Dispute

11 Resolution/MEDiate has been selected to mediate this case. However, Mr. Dickstein is not available

12 until Februar 21, 2007.

13 4. Lead counsel for all paries are located in Washington, D.C. In the interest of

14 efficiency and to conserve scarce resources, the paries are endeavoring to schedule mediation with

15 Mr. Dickstein in San Francisco to coincide with the case management conference. Rescheduling the

16 case management conference for Februar 22,2007, the day after the scheduled mediation is to

17 occur, wil accomplish that goal.

18 5. One previous time modification was requested and granted in this case, but that

19 modification preceded the appointment of the mediator.

20 6. The requested rescheduling of the case management conference wil not materially

21 delay the progress of this case.

22 WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that the case management conference be

23 rescheduled for Februar 22,2007 at 2:30 p.m. A proposed order is attached.
