BRIEFING

the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion to compel (Docket No. 67) and denied intervenor’s

motion to dismiss (Docket No. 66). 

Pursuant to Local Rule 7-12, the parties now stipulate that, by November 7, 2008,

EPA will produce a certified index of the complete administrative record for this case, a

privilege log for those records EPA believes can be withheld from disclosure, and

excerpts of the record agreed upon by the parties. The parties further stipulate that

summary judgment briefing in this case be stayed until the Ninth Circuit issues a decision

in a pending expedited case, United Farm Workers v. Administrator, EPA, No. 08-35528

(9th Cir.), which involves similar jurisdictional issues to those raised by the intervenor in

the instant case. Because the Court’s Order denying intervenor’s motion to dismiss

provided that it could raise the issues again on summary judgment, the parties believe it is

appropriate to await the Ninth Circuit’s decision before proceeding to summary judgment

in this case, except that nothing shall prevent any party from filing a motion for

reconsideration of the Court’s Order pending resolution of the Ninth Circuit litigation. 

The parties will submit a revised proposed schedule for summary judgment briefing

within two weeks of the Ninth Circuit’s ruling in United Farm Workers.

Respectfully submitted this 9th day of September, 2008.
