02-1580-JSW Stipulated Request 2 for Order Changing Time

STIPULATION

 Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff, Center for Biological Diversity, and Federal

Defendants respectfully request that this Court extend Plaintiff’s deadline for filing a motion for attorneys’

fees, from November 20, 2006, to December 20, 2006.

 On October 20, 2006, the Court signed a Stipulated Settlement between the Parties, which

established a stipulated deadline of November 20, 2006, for Plaintiff to file a motion for attorneys’ fees.

See Order (Dkt. 242). In light of the strong public policy encouraging settlement of attorneys’ fees, see

Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 437 (1983) (“Ideally, of course, litigants will settle the amount of a

fee.”); Gisbrecht v. Barnhart, 535 U.S. 789, 801-02 (2002) (same); McDermott, Inc. v. AmClyde, 511 U.S.

202, 215 (1994) (“public policy wisely encourages settlement”), Plaintiff and Defendants have conferred

and believe they may be able to reach a settlement agreement regarding Plaintiff’s entitlement to and amount

of any attorneys’ fees award in this case. Accordingly, in order to afford the Parties an opportunity to

engage in further settlement discussions, the Parties respectfully request that the Court extend the deadline

established in its October 20, 2006, Order, from November 20, 2006 until December 20, 2006. 

Dated: November 16, 2006

Respectfully Submitted,

/s/ Justin Augustine
