STIPULATION

WHEREAS, on April 18, 2013, Plaintiff the San Francisco Herring 

Association (“Plaintiff”) filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for 

the Northern District of California, Case No. 13-cv-01750-JST against Defendants 

National Park Service (the “NPS”), et al. (collectively “Defendants”); 

WHEREAS, on July 10, 2013, Plaintiff filed the operative First Amended 

Complaint (the “Complaint”) asserting two causes of action: (1) Count 1, for 

violation of Section 10(e)(2)(C) of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) (5 

U.S.C. § 706(2)(C)); and (2) Count 2, for violation of 10(e)(2)(A) of the APA (5 

U.S.C. § 706(2)(A)) (Dkt. 17);

WHEREAS, on March 7, 2014, the Court heard cross motions for summary 

judgment regarding the issue of whether the NPS has statutory authority and 

jurisdiction to prohibit commercial fishing in certain waters of the San Francisco 

Bay, an issue determinative of Count 1 and partially determinative of Count 2;

WHEREAS, on April 29, 2014, the Court granted Defendants’ motion for 

summary judgment and denied Plaintiff’s motion, finding that the NPS has such 

authority and jurisdiction (Dkt. 127); 

WHEREAS, on May 21, 2014, the Court entered judgment for Defendants 

and against Plaintiff “on the entirety of Count 1 of the Complaint, and . . . all 

portions of Count 2 of the Complaint based on allegations that the NPS exceeded 

its statutory jurisdiction or authority by prohibiting commercial fishing in the 

waters within GGNRA [(the Golden Gate Recreation Area)]” (Dkt.129);

WHEREAS, the aforementioned judgment did not contain an express 

determination that there was no just reason for delay and so did not end the action 

as to any of the claims or parties; and 

WHEREAS, the parties have reached an agreement with respect to ending 

the action;
