STIPULATION BY ALL PARTIES TO 

CONTINUE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE 

 

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

 Pursuant to Rule 16(e) of the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Northern 

District of California, Plaintiffs San Francisco Chapter of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, Californians 

for Renewable Energy, Lynne Brown, and Regina Hollins; and Defendants United States Environmental 

Protection Agency, Stephen Johnson, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and City and County 

of San Francisco, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to, and request 

the Court’s approval of, a continuance of the Case Management Conference scheduled for January 11, 

2008, until after the Court has ruled on the dispositive motions that Defendants intend to file in response 

to the Complaint. The reasons for the Parties’ stipulation and request are as follows. 

On December 5, 2007, Counsel for all Parties conferred by telephone to discuss various case 

management issues. Counsel for all of the Defendants and the Defendant-Intervenor indicated that they

intend to file dispositive motions in response to the Complaint. 

Subsequently, on December 14, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint. At least some 

and perhaps all of the Defendants intend to file dispositive motions in response to this First Amended 

Complaint. 

Until the Court rules on these motions, it will be unclear exactly which parties and causes of 

action will have to be litigated in this lawsuit. With the basic scope of the action uncertain, it will be 

difficult to make a meaningful assessment of scheduling and case management issues such as what 

discovery will be necessary, whether any additional parties will need to be joined, what pre-trial motion 

practice will be necessary, etc. In light of this situation, the Parties agree that a case management 

conference would be premature at this time and would not be a good use of the Court’s and the Parties’ 

resources. 

The parties therefore stipulate and agree among themselves, and respectfully propose to the 

Court, that the January 11, 2008, initial case management conference be continued until after the Court 

resolves the dispositive motions filed in response to the First Amended Complaint. The Parties propose 

that the initial case management conference be taken off-calendar at this time, and re-scheduled at the 

hearing on the dispositive motions, when the Court and the Parties will have a better idea of what the 

most appropriate date for the conference will be. 

The Parties recognize that pursuant to Local Rule 16-2(e), a stipulation that would vary the date 

of a Case Management Conference must be approved by the assigned Judge. The Parties hereby 

respectfully request approval of this Stipulation. 

Alexander G. Crockett, Esq., the filer of this document and Signatory for purposes of Section X 

of this Court’s General Order No. 45, hereby attests that he has on file all holograph signatures for any 

signatures indicated by a “conformed” signature (/s/) within this efiled document.
