PARTIES AGREEMENT ON MOTION

TO COMPEL

[PROPOSED ORDER]

The following is hereby stipulated by and between the undersigned, subject to approval of

issues raised in such motion by agreement set forth below. Parties would like to

maintain the date currently calendared with Judge LaPorte to resolve other

discovery issues that arise prior to filing of dispositive motions and to the extent

any assistance may be necessary to carry out the below agreement. 

2. The date for filing Motions for Summary Judgment is currently set for September

19, 2007. Because parties will be reconvening the deposition of Curtis Cross and

exchanging additional materials, parties request that the date for filing the

dispositive motion be enlarged to October 24, 2007 in order to allow time to

accomplish these objectives and to obtain the transcript for use in the motion. No

trial date is currently set and, therefore, this request will not cause a delay in trial. 

The date to complete private mediation will be enlarged from November 21, 2007

to December 17, 2007. 

3. The deposition of Curtis Cross will be resumed on September 5, 2007, in San

Francisco at the U.S. Attorney’s Office at 9AM. The deposition of Janine Clayton

will also be resumed on September 5, 2007 at 11AM. The deposition will be

limited to materials received by counsel for Plaintiffs from the Defendant’s July

20, 2007 package as well as the documents to be received pursuant to paragrapgh

5 below. A copy of any exhibit to be shown to the deponent will be brought to the

deposition by Plaintiff’s counsel for the deponent and for both counsel.

Alternatively, a list of the exhibits to be used can be provided to counsel for

Defendant by noon on September 4, 2007 so that copies can be made for the

deposition.

4. Defendant reserves the issue for hearing with Magistrate Judge LaPorte (among

other issues) of the payment of witness fees which have not yet been paid to

Bureau of Reclamation employee Edward Zangger in the amount of $445.00 for

his deposition on August 6, 2007. Plaintiff maintains that witness fees do not

have to be paid to government witnesses. 

5. Counsel for Plaintiff will be provided the documents requested in items 4-7 of

Plaintiff’s August 14, 2007 motion in accordance with the subsequent paragraph.

STIPULATION TO ENLARGE DEADLINES and AGREEMENT PAGE 3

Defendant maintains that Counsel for Plaintiff was already provided prior to the

motion to compel the documents in hard copy from the diskette requested in item

4 of the motion to compel, however, Defendant will now further produce the

diskette. With regard to item 5, Defendant maintains that counsel was informed

prior to the motion to compel that no full size version of this document exists.

Counsel for Plaintiffs can question Mr. Cross and Ms. Clayton at their continued

depositions and, if not satisfied with their responses, can reserve this issue for

hearing with Magistrate Judge LaPorte. With regard to item 6, counsel for

Plaintiffs will be provided the Cal Nickel documents referenced in the July 24,

2007 deposition of Curtis Cross. Defendant maintains that Counsel for Plaintiff

was informed prior to the motion to compel that these documents were under

review for privilege concerns, that review has been completed and the documents

will be produced without privilege objections. With regard to item 7, Defendant

maintains that counsel for Plaintiffs was previously informed that the photographs

attached to the emails would be provided and were being printed. All of the

above documents will be provided to counsel for Plaintiffs on or before August

31, 2007. 

For the foregoing reasons, the parties stipulate to an enlargement of the deadlines to file a

motion for summary judgment and to complete mediation, so that the deadline for filing

summary judgement motions is enlarged to October 24, 2007, and the date to complete

mediation is enlarged to December 17, 2007. This is the third request to enlarge these

deadlines.
