Plaintiffs,

v. 

GEORGE W. BUSH, et al. 

 

Defendants. 

 

 

TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:

1. The parties jointly request this Court, pursuant to Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, to reschedule

to March 27, 2006 the case management conference now scheduled for June 5, 2006.

2. On January 30, 2006, this case was reassigned from Judge Conti to Judge Patel,

following the filing of an “Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should be

Related” filed by plaintiffs in Levine v. Johanns, No. C-05-4764.

3. In the Levine case a case management conference has been set for March 27, 2006. The

parties envision a briefing schedule on the Government’s motion to dismiss the Levine compliant

over the following two or three months.

4. Because American Bison and Levine share at least one similar legal issue, the parties

submit that judicial economy and the convenience of the parties would be promoted by aligning

the case management and briefing schedules of the two cases. The parties are not suggesting

that the two cases should be briefed in a single set of papers or argued jointly; rather that briefing

and argument should follow the same track to the extent possible.

5. Specifically, the Parties propose the following schedule:

a. Defendants’ motion to dismiss is due on or before April 6, 2006. The defendant

intends to do this in lieu of filing an Answer.

b. Plaintiffs’ opposition to the motion to dismiss will be due on or before May 5, 2006.

c. Defendants may file a reply on or before May 17, 2006. 

6. The parties will submit a case management statement on or before March 24, 2006.

7. The parties therefore move this Court to consider the scheduling of the instant case at the

March 27 case management conference now scheduled in Levine. Counsel for Plaintiffs stands

ready to appear at said conference in person.

8. Plaintiff’s counsel represents that concurrence in the filing and signing of this

document has been obtained from defendants’ counsel.
