Stipulation and Order Regarding Modification to Scheduling Order (1:20-cv-01539-AWI-SKO)

Whereas, the Court issued a scheduling order in this case on January 20, 2021, and the 

scheduling order provided a briefing schedule for the Parties to file their respective motions for 

summary judgment; 

Whereas, the Court’s January 20, 2021 scheduling order required the Parties to meet to 

explore the possibility of settlement before incurring the expense of filing their summary 

judgment motions; 

Whereas, the Parties, through their attorneys, discussed settlement possibilities, and have 

tentatively scheduled a virtual settlement conference among tribal leaders, the Governor’s Tribal 

Negotiations Advisor, and their attorneys; 

Whereas, these settlement discussions are taking time away from the attorneys’ 

preparations of their respective motions for summary judgment, and such motions will become 

unnecessary to file if the Parties settle this matter; and 

Whereas, this is the first request by the Parties to modify the Court’s January 20, 2021

scheduling order; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the Parties that the filing dates for their respective 

motions for summary judgment in the Court’s January 20, 2021 scheduling order shall be 

extended by fourteen days. Pursuant to this stipulation, the filing date for the Parties’ summary 

judgment motions is extended from April 30, 2021, to May 14, 2021. The filing date for the 

Parties’ oppositions to the summary judgment motions is extended from May 28, 2021, to June 

11, 2021. The filing date for any replies in support of the summary judgment motions is extended 

from June 11, 2021, to June 25, 2021. The time for summary judgments to be heard before the 

Court is extended from June 28, 2021 to July 12, 2021.
