Case 2:05-cv-00599-FCD-DAD Document 63 Filed 12/01/05 Page 1 of 3
Plaintiffs and Defendants, through their respective counsel, enter into this 

stipulation with reference to the following: 

A. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for summary judgment (“Motion”), a 

hearing on which is currently set for December 16, 2005; 

B. Defendants seek to continue the hearing on the Motion for 

approximately 30 days on, among other grounds, their lead attorney is preoccupied 

with a trial in another case; 

C. Defendants have filed an ex parte application to continue the hearing 

on the Motion (the “Application”); 

D. Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the Application on, among other 

grounds, that a continuance of the hearing on the Motion would place Plaintiffs in 

the untenable position of either (a) paying approximately $875,000 of fees pursuant 

to a void regulation or (b) risk substantial penalties for failing to pay said fees; and 

E. Plaintiffs contend that they are entitled to an injunction against the 

imposition of penalties for failing to pay the fees under Ex Parte Young, 209 U.S. 

123, 145-149, 28 S. Ct. 441 (1908) and Oklahoma Operating Co. v. Love, 209 U.S. 

331, 337-338, 40 S. Ct. 338 (1920). 

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs and Defendants stipulate to the following: 

1. Defendant California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) shall 

not collect 2006 annual renewal permit fees under the Outdoor Advertising Act, 

California Business & Professions Code § 5200 et seq. until it has determined the 

amount of the fees pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, California 

Government Code § 13400 et seq.; 

2. Caltrans and its agents shall be permanently enjoined from imposing 

penalties of any kind on Plaintiffs for failure to pay 2006 permit renewal fees on or 

before December 31, 2005, including but not limited to (a) monetary penalties 

under 4 Cal. Admin. Code § 2424, (b) the revocation of Plaintiffs’ permits or (c) the 

nonrenewal of Plaintiffs’ permits;

3. Except as expressly provided herein, the Court shall decide all of the 

issues raised in the Motion on the merits; 

4. Except with respect to the permanent injunction described in paragraph 

2 above, all parties preserve their rights to appeal the judgment issued by this Court 

as provided by law; 

5. The hearing on the Motion shall be continued to 10:00 a.m. on 

February 10, 2006; 

6. Defendants’ opposition shall be filed and served on or before January 

18, 2006; and 

7. Plaintiffs’ reply shall be filed and served on or before February 3, 

2006.
