STIPULATION and [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT 

extension, the due date for a responsive pleading would be February 4, 2008. 

The parties have engaged in extensive settlement discussions and counsel for CSPA and 

Woodland Biomass are continuing to refine settlement terms. Based on the substantial progress 

to date, the parties believe it likely that this case will be resolved without further judicial 

involvement. Indeed, counsel for Woodland Biomass has substantially completed a draft 

settlement agreement which will be circulated to counsel for CSPA shortly. Thus, pursuant to 

Local Rule 6-144(a), the parties hereby stipulate to extend the time in which Defendant may file 

its Answer or otherwise move with respect to Plaintiff's Complaint by an additional 30 days, up to 

and including February 4, 2008. 

If the parties execute a settlement agreement as expected, it will be likely that the parties 

will request a further extension from this Court so that the agreement may be finalized and 

reviewed by appropriate government agencies, if necessary, before stipulated dismissal.
