TO THE COURT AND TO THE PARTIES: 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Plaintiff San Francisco Baykeeper and Defendant James F. 

Taylor dba Pinole Rodeo Auto Wreckers (collectively, the “Parties”) have reached a tentative 

settlement in this action, which has been executed by the Parties. As required by federal law, a copy 

of the [Proposed] Settlement Agreement has been sent to the U.S. Department of Justice and to the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (collectively, the “Agencies”) for a mandatory 45-day review 

period under 33 U.S.C. § 1365(c)(3) and 40 C.F.R. § 135.5. Copies of the [Proposed] Settlement 

Agreement will be sent to the Agencies via U.S. Certified Mail on today’s date. Upon expiration of 

the 45-day review period, Plaintiff will request that the Court (1) approve and execute the [Proposed] 

Settlement Agreement which provides for continuing Court jurisdiction over any disputes which may 

arise between the Parties under the agreement, and (2) approve and execute an Order dismissing the 

Complaint. 

Therefore, in light of the 45-day statutory review period, which ends on approximately 

November 3, 2016, Plaintiff requests that the Court vacate from its calendar Defendant’s deadline to 

respond to the complaint on September 26, 2016, and the December 1, 2016 Case Management 

Conference and associated deadlines, and issue an order that Plaintiff has until November 15, 2016 to 

file a request to enter the [Proposed] Settlement Agreement. 

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court approve and enter the Proposed 

Order below. 

DATE: September 19, 2016 Respectfully Submitted,
