Case No. 2:07-CV-01431-LEW-EFB 

STIPULATION AND ORDER

Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 6-144, Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection Alliance 

(CSPA) and Defendant Woodland Biomass, Ltd. (Woodland Biomass) hereby stipulate to 

extending the time to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint. By stipulations of the parties, the due date

date for a responsive pleading would be March 5, 2008. 

The parties have engaged in extensive settlement discussions and counsel for CSPA and 

Woodland Biomass are agreed on almost all terms. Based on the apparent imminency of 

settlement, the parties believe it very likely that this case will be resolved without further judicial 

involvement. Thus, pursuant to Local Rule 6-144(a), the parties hereby stipulate to extend the 

time in which Defendant may file its Answer or otherwise move with respect to Plaintiff's 

Complaint by an additional 30 days, up to and including March 5, 2008. 

If the parties execute a settlement agreement as expected, it will be likely that the parties 

will request a further extension from this Court so that the agreement may be finalized and 

reviewed by appropriate government agencies, if necessary, before stipulated dismissal.
