Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-12, this Stipulated Settlement Agreement is entered into by and 

between Plaintiffs Center for Biological Diversity and Turtle Island Restoration Network, and 

Federal Defendants Ken Salazar, Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior, and 

the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (collectively “FWS” or “Service”): 

 WHEREAS, on December 18, 2008, the Service made 12-month findings, pursuant to 16 

U.S.C. § 1533(b)(3)(B)(ii), that listing seven penguin species, or subpopulations thereof 

(collectively the “seven penguin species”) was warranted, and issued a proposed listing 

regulation for these species pursuant to 16 U.S.C. § 1533(b)(5), 73 Fed. Reg. 77,264 (Dec. 18, 

2008); 73 Fed. Reg. 77,303 (Dec. 18, 2008); 73 Fed. Reg. 77,332 (Dec. 18, 2008); 

 WHEREAS, on March 9, 2010, Plaintiffs filed a Complaint for declaratory and injunctive 

relief, challenging the Service’s failure, as to the seven penguin species, to issue a final listing 

determination within one year as required by 16 U.S.C. § 1533(b)(6)(A)(i); 

 WHEREAS, on June 3, 2010, the Court approved the parties’ Stipulated Settlement 

Agreement resolving this action, and entered an Order dismissing this case, Doc. No. 8; 

 WHEREAS, it has come to the parties’ attention that paragraph 3 of the Stipulated 

Settlement Agreement, as submitted to the Court, misidentifies the species at issue; 

 WHEREAS, Paragraph 5 of the Stipulated Settlement Agreement and Order provides that 

this Court may modify the terms of the Order upon good cause shown; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Defendants agree that correction of the Stipulated Settlement 

Agreement and Order is advisable; 

 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS 

FOLLOWS:
