JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING AMENDED JOINT RULE 26(f) REPORT AND 

EXTENDING TIME TO SERVE ANSWER

JOINT STIPULATION

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), on the one hand, and 

Barclays Bank PLC, Daniel Brin, Scott Connelly, Karen Levine, and Ryan Smith 

(collectively, “Defendants” and, with FERC, the “Parties”), on the other hand, by and through their 

respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

1. On May 20, 2015, this Court issued an order dated May 19, 2015, denying 

Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss or, in the Alternative, to Transfer.

2. On May 26, 2015, counsel for the Parties met and conferred to discuss an agreement 

to extend the time for Defendants to serve an answer to FERC’s Petition for an Order Affirming 

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s July 16, 2013 Order Assessing Civil Penalties 

Against Barclays Bank PLC, Daniel Brin, Scott Connelly, Karen Levine, and Ryan Smith 

(the “Petition”). The Parties also discussed the need to update the Joint Report In Compliance 

With FRCP 26(f) And Court’s Order Requiring Joint Status Report filed with this Court on 

December 16, 2013 (the “Joint Rule 26(f) Report”). The Parties agreed to continue to meet and 

confer for the next thirty days to discuss the Parties’ positions on discovery and a schedule for the 

Parties to submit any amendment or supplement to the Joint Rule 26(f) Report, which shall address

the Parties’ positions on the scope of the proceedings pursuant to Section 31(d)(3)(B) of the 

Federal Power Act. Defendants maintain that additional briefing on the scope of the proceedings is 

necessary in light of additional issues arising from the Court’s May 19, 2015 order, and the Parties’ 

ongoing meet and confer efforts regarding discovery. Although FERC does not think additional 

briefing on this issue is necessary, it does not oppose Defendants’ request for such briefing, and the 

Parties will include a proposed briefing schedule in the Joint Rule 26(f) Report should the Court 

order further briefing.

3. The Parties have agreed upon the following schedule:

a. Defendants’ time to serve an answer to the Petition shall be extended until 

and including June 17, 2015;

b. The Parties shall file any amendment or supplement to the Joint Rule 26(f) 

Report, which shall address the Parties’ positions on the scope of the 

Case 2:13-cv-02093-TLN-DB Document 91 Filed 06/03/15 Page 5 of 8

proceedings pursuant to Section 31(d)(3)(B) of the Federal Power Act and 

include a proposed briefing schedule on this issue, within thirty days of 

notice of the Court’s entry of the proposed order attached as Exhibit A.

4. Accordingly, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter the proposed order 

attached as Exhibit A, which (1) extends the time for Defendants to serve an answer to the Petition; 

and (2) establishes a schedule for the Parties to submit any amendment or supplement to the 

previously filed Joint Rule 26(f) Report, which shall address the Parties’ positions on the scope of 

the proceedings pursuant to Section 31(d)(3)(B) of the Federal Power Act and include a proposed
