Stip. & Order Adjusting Schedule for Discovery and Briefing for Ps Mot. for Summ. Judg. (2:23cv2333) 

WHEREAS the California Air Resources Board has requested that the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waive Clean Air Act preemption for parts of ACF; 

WHEREAS Plaintiff has requested a pause in the schedule before its production of 

documents is due January 6, 2025, and the parties believe it would be efficient to pause the 

current schedule to provide the parties with the opportunity to consider any action(s) EPA takes 

on CARB’s request in the next three weeks; 

WHEREAS, having now seen Plaintiff’s motion and having propounded the related 

requests for production of documents, Defendant has indicated his counsel will need additional 

time to review the produced documents before deposing Plaintiff’s declarants, and Plaintiff has 

agreed to this request; 

WHEREAS the parties agree that the depositions may require more than the original two 

weeks, in light of the number of deponents and scheduling issues of both parties; 

WHEREAS no prior requests to adjust the schedule ordered on October 24, 2024 have been 

made; 

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE, AGREE, AND REQUEST that the Court enter 

an order modifying the schedule as indicated by the underlined dates below: 

 On or before March 6, 2025, Plaintiff will respond to Defendant’s Requests for 

Production of Documents with all responsive documents, including those in the possession, 

custody, or control of the Plaintiff’s declarants or their organizations or businesses, that are not 

subject to an asserted privilege or objection consistent with applicable rules; 

 Plaintiff will make its declarants available for depositions in California between April 

2 and April 22, 2025, at times and locations to be negotiated by the parties; 

 On or before May 20, 2025, Defendant will file his opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion 

for Summary Judgment; 

 On or before June 17, 2025, Plaintiff will file its reply. 

If by April 29, 2025, there remain outstanding disputes between the parties concerning the 

activities described above and in the Stipulation and Order To Set Briefing Schedule for

event of such notification, the remaining briefing deadlines will be void, and the parties agree to 

renegotiate a schedule in good faith. Should the parties be unable to reach an agreement on a 

schedule during those negotiations, they shall present their dispute in a joint statement, not to 

exceed 10 pages, for the Court’s resolution.
