STIPULATION; ORDER

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-01207 LJO-GSA

RECITALS

WHEREAS, on March 23, 2015, the Court issued a Limited Scheduling Order providing a 

briefing schedule for motions by Federal Defendants, Defendant-Intervenors and Joined Party 

Defendants San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, et al. (“DMC Contractors”) and GlennColusa Irrigation District, et al. (“SRS Contractors”), to stay and motions to bifurcate this matter, 

Doc. 953; 

WHEREAS, under the Limited Scheduling Order, the deadline to file those motions was 

April 10, 2015; the deadline to file oppositions to the pending motions is April 29, 2015; and the 

deadline to file reply briefs is May 8, 2015;

WHEREAS, Federal Defendants, Defendant-Intervenors and Joined Party Defendants 

filed motions to stay and to bifurcate on April 10, 2015; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Federal Defendants is also attorney of record for the United 

States in another matter where a motion for a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary 

injunction is expected imminently; 

WHEREAS, that expected emergency motion threatens to make Federal Defendants' 

counsel’s ability to comply with the Court's schedule in this action unmanageable; 

WHEREAS, the parties, by and through their respective counsel of record, as identified 

below, have conferred and agree that it is prudent and appropriate to modestly extend the 

deadlines under the Court’s Limited Scheduling Order to accommodate Federal Defendants’

counsel’s scheduling conflict, so long as the same length of time is maintained between the 

opposition and reply deadlines, and no further extensions on this basis will be sought; and 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that the deadline to file oppositions to the pending motions 

should be extended to May 5, 2015, and the deadline to file reply briefs should be extended to 

May 14, 2015.

STIPULATION

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate as follows regarding the deadline to file 

oppositions and reply briefs to the pending motions to stay and bifurcate:
