STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER 

ENLARGING TIME WITHIN WHICH TO 

FILE MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES 

AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

 Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and Civil L.R. 54-6(a), plaintiffs The Wilderness Society, et. al.,

and defendants U.S. Forest Service, et al., through their respective undersigned counsel, hereby 

stipulate and request the Court to enlarge the time within which plaintiffs may file a motion for an 

award of costs and attorneys’ fees until May 5, 2007: 

 1. On September 20, 2006, this Court issued an Opinion and Order in this case granting 

plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and denying defendants’ cross-motion for summary 

judgment. On February 6, 2007, the Court entered judgment for plaintiffs. 

2. “Unless otherwise ordered by the Court after a stipulation to enlarge time under 

Civil L.R. 6-2,” Civil Local Rule 54-6(a) provides that a motion for an award of attorney’s fees 

must be filed within 14 days after entry of judgment – in this case, on or before February 20, 

2007. 

3. The parties seek an extension of this deadline until 30 days after the deadline for

the federal defendants to file a notice of appeal in this action. Pursuant to Federal Rule of 

Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1)(B), the federal defendants have 60 days from the date of this Court’s 

judgment to file a notice of appeal, or until April 9, 2007. Accordingly, the parties request an 

enlargement of the time within which plaintiffs may file a motion for an award of costs and 

attorneys’ fees until May 5, 2007. 

4. The parties seek the requested extension to allow time for the case to proceed to a 

judgment that is not appealable for purposes of plaintiffs’ claim for costs and fees under the 

Equal Access to Justice Act, see 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(2)(G), and to allow time for the parties to 

attempt to negotiate to settle plaintiffs’ claim for costs and fees. 

5. No prior enlargement of time in this matter has been requested or granted. The 

requested enlargement of time would have no effect on the schedule for the case, since the merits 

of the case have been decided and judgment has been entered. 

DECLARATIONS 

Undersigned counsel hereby declare under penalty of perjury that the above statements 

are true and correct.
