 The undersigned parties appreciate the opportunity to participate in the Court’s ADR 

multi-option program. However, the parties believe that this administrative review case, which 

challenges federal agency actions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

and the Endangered Species Act, is not amenable to an intermediate resolution at this time and 

the litigation should continue before the Court. The parties believe than none of the ADR 

processes is likely to lead to resolution of the case or deliver benefits sufficient to justify the 

resources consumed by its use, see ADR LR 3-5(e)(3), the parties jointly stipulate and request, 

pursuant to ADR LR 3-3(c) and Civ. LR 7-12, that the Court remove this case from its ADR 

multi-option program. 

 Respectfully submitted this 2nd day of July, 2008.
