STIP & [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING HEARING DATE, & SETTING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE -2-

WHEREAS, on November 9, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Permanent Injunctive 

Relief and Partial Summary Judgment, and noticed the hearing date for December 10, 2007, and 

the parties have agreed to continue the hearing date, and address certain pre-hearing scheduling 

matters as set forth below. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among the parties, through 

their respective counsel, that the hearing on said Motion for Permanent Injunctive Relief and 

Partial Summary Judgment shall be continued, and the pre-hearing briefing and other pre-hearing 

matters shall be scheduled as follows: 

1. On or before January 22, 2008, the Federal Defendants shall lodge and certify any 

supplemental Administrative Record that Federal Defendants assert is required for the operative 

Second Supplemental Complaint on file herein. By stipulating to a date for filing of any 

supplement Administrative Record (and subsequent motions related thereto), Plaintiffs do not 

agree that a supplemental Administrative Record is necessary to resolution of their pending 

motion, nor do Plaintiffs waive any arguments regarding the need for a supplemental 

Administrative Record. 

2. All oppositions to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Permanent Injunctive Relief and Partial 

Summary Judgment and any motions to augment, or objections to, the supplemental 

Administrative Record shall be electronically served and filed by February 18, 2008. 

3. Plaintiffs’ reply in support of their Motion for Permanent Injunctive Relief and 

Partial Summary Judgment and any responses to motions to augment, or objections to, the 

supplemental Administrative Record shall be electronically served and filed by March 3, 2008. 

4. The hearing on any motions to augment, or objections to, the supplemental 

Administrative Record and Plaintiffs’ Motion for Permanent Injunctive Relief and Partial 

Summary Judgment shall be March 10, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 3. 

5. The Court will hold a scheduling conference on December 10, 2007, immediately 

following the hearing that same day on the Defendant-Intervenors’ pending motions to dismiss, 

and the foregoing schedule shall be subject to modification by the Court in order to accommodate 

the Court’s rulings on the motions to dismiss, and the Court’s schedule.
