DENNIS D. MURPHY

CASE NO. 13-cv-02315-TLN-AC

JOINT STATUS REPORT REGARDING 

THE STAY OF PROCEEDINGS TO 

CONCLUDE SETTLEMENT EFFORTS; 

STIPULATION AND ORDER

On April 1, 2016, this Court granted the parties’ request to continue the stay of proceedings in 

this case until April 25, 2016, and directed the parties to submit a further joint status report on or before 

April 22, 2016.

The parties have continued to make significant progress to resolve this action and believe that 

they may soon be able to reach a final agreement on all material terms. Therefore, the parties hereby 

stipulate, subject to approval of the Court, to continue the stay of proceedings for an additional 2 days –

from April 25, 2016, to April 27, 2016.

The parties shall provide a status report to the Court on or before April 26, 2016, advising the 

Court of the status of the case. If the parties are unable to conclude the matter within the time period, 

they shall advise the Court of their proposal going forward, which would likely include a new hearing 

date and briefing schedule on the pending motion, as well as other deadlines. If the parties reach an 

agreement in principle, they will so advise the Court in keeping with the provisions of Local Rule 160.

The parties further note that the Forest Service halted the project some time ago (though there is 

a dispute regarding the ongoing environmental impacts of previously implemented Project actions), and

authorization for the challenged Project has been withdrawn. There is thus good cause for the 

continuance, and the Court should grant it.
