Plaintiffs Wilderness Society, et al., and Defendants United States Department of the Interior, et 

al., submit this Stipulation and Proposed Order seeking an extension of the 60-day stay of litigation 

issued by this Court on September 28, 2009 [Dkt. #24] and extended by additional periods of 60 days 

each on December 10, 2009 [Dkt. #27] and February 4, 2010 [Dkt. #33], and for an additional 120 days 

on March 30, 2010 [Dkt. #36].

The Parties jointly moved for a stay of proceedings [Dkt. #23] in order to accommodate settlement negotiations. The Parties requested that the Court extend that stay [Dkt. ##26, 32, 35] in furtherance of those settlement proceedings. 

Since that time, the parties have continued to make progress towards resolving this case without 

litigation. The parties believe that a further stay would assist the progress of those negotiations.

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate, subject to Court approval, to a further stay of all proceedings for an additional 120 days from July 27, 2010.
