Case No. C 05-00286 SI (MEJ)

E-FILING CASE

STIPULATED REQUEST TO

CONTINUE SETTLEMENT

CONFERENCE PENDING

SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS ON

ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM

This case is set for a settlement conference on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 at 10:00am. After 

the settlement conference was scheduled, counsel for defendants has learned that the U.S.

Department of Justice intends to appoint private counsel for each defendant. Also, last Friday

plaintiffs filed an administrative tort claim with the Department of Interior regarding the incident

that is the basis for this lawsuit.

Because of the Department of Justice’s decision regarding representation, defendants’

current counsel cannot appear on their behalf next Tuesday. The Department of Interior can still

settle this case through the administrative process, but the Court does not yet have jurisdiction

over the administrative claim.

STIP. TO CONTINUE SETTLEMENT CONF.

C 05-00286 SI (MEJ) 2

The parties therefore ask that the Court continue this settlement conference for about two

weeks, so that the parties can discuss settlement of the administrative claim, and if the case does

not settle, then the Department of Justice can secure separate counsel for each defendant.

So stipulated and respectfully submitted,
