 The Parties to this action—i.e., Plaintiffs and Counterclaim-Defendants Duarte Nursery, 

Inc., and John Duarte (collectively, “Duarte”) and Defendants United States Army Corps of 

Engineers, United States of America, and Counterclaim-Plaintiff United States of America 

(collectively, “United States”)—hereby stipulate and jointly seek the Court’s approval of the 

following modifications to the Court’s Minute Order of February 26, 2016 (ECF 179): 

1. The parties in this case have completed all discovery and have filed six 

dispositive motions, which presently remain pending before the Court. The only tasks 

remaining for the parties are the Pretrial Conference and preceding Joint Pretrial Conference 

Statement, Trial Briefs, trial exhibits, and the bench trial itself. 

2. Under the Court’s February 26, 2016, Minute Order, the parties have until 

April 28, 2016, to confer and submit a Joint Pretrial Conference Statement. ECF 179. Under 

the Court’s subsequent April 5, 2016, Minute Order, the Final Pretrial Conference will be held 

on May 18, 2016. ECF 184. 

3. By the Court’s March 25, 2016, Minute Order, the Court reset the bench trial 

date for July 25, 2016, as well as the filing deadline for the parties’ trial briefs, for July 11, 

2016. ECF 183. 

5. The parties have conferred and agree to continue the date for submitting the Joint 

Pretrial Conference Statement to May 11, 2016. This date is in accord with Local Rule 

281(a)(2), and will provide the parties the maximum available time to prepare the Joint 

Statement in light of any ruling issued by the Court on the pending motions for summary 

judgment. 

6. Wherefore, based on the above, and for good cause shown, the parties stipulate 

and request that the Court reset the date for submission of the Joint Pretrial Conference 

Statement from April 28, 2016, to May 11, 2016, and to so order. 

Respectfully submitted and stipulated:
