case and noticed it for hearing on November 17, 2006;

WHEREAS, Defendants Stephen L. Johnson, Administrator of the United States

Environmental Protection Agency; and Wayne Nastri, Regional Administrator, EPA Region IX,

and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (collectively “EPA”) filed a motion on

October 6, 2006 to stay this case pending resolution of EPA’s administrative motion (also filed

on October 6, 2006) to determine if this case is related to Baykeeper v. U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Case No. C 06-5159 SC, and whether this case should be transferred to

Judge Conti as the judge on the earliest filed case; 

WHEREAS, Judge Conti denied EPA’s administrative motion on October 13, 2006

(mooting EPA’s motion to stay this case scheduled to be heard on October 20, 2006);

below and request that the Court issue an order as follows:
