STIPULATION TO RESCHEDULE

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

AND ORDER

Case 4:06-cv-05641-PJH Document 27 Filed 12/08/06 Page 1 of 5
1 Plaintiffs Sierra Club and Improving Kids' Environment, Defendant, Stephen L. Johnson, in

2 his offcial capacity as Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and

3 Intervenor Association of Battery Recyclers, Inc., hereby respectfully and jointly request, pursuant to

4 Local Rule 16.2( d), that the case management conference curently set for December 14, 2006 be

5 rescheduled for January 25, 2006. The paries have good cause for this request. In support hereof,

6 the paries state as follows:

7 1. The complaint in this case was fied in September 2006. Defendant timely answered,

8 as has Intervenor. This matter is currently set for a case management conference on December 14,

9 2006. The paries jointly request that the case management conference be rescheduled for Januar

10 25,2007.

11 2. The paries have already met and conferred several times on case management issues.

12 The parties reached agreement on some issues, including the most effective ADR method

13 (mediation). On December 4,2006, this Court issued an Order referring this matter to mediation and

14 setting a 90-day deadline for the ADR session (March 4, 2007).

15 3. The parties are continuing to meet and confer on the remaining case management

16 issues and believe that postponing the conference until January 25,2007 would allow the parties

17 time to continue to work together to produce a more complete case management report. Such a

18 report would narow the issues and lead to a more efficient and productive case management

19 conference.

20 4. Additionally, lead counsel for all parties are located in Washington, D.C. In the

21 interest of efficiency, the paries are endeavoring to schedule mediation in San Francisco to coincide

22 with the proposed Januar 25,2007 date for the case management conference.

23 5. The requested rescheduling of the case management conference wil not result in a

24 material delay in the progress of this case.

25 6. No time modifications have been previously requested in this case.

26 WHEREFORE, the paries respectfully request that the case management conference be rescheduled
