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

The parties have used the previous extensions to engage in extensive settlement 

discussions and counsel for CSPA and Woodland Biomass are agreed on all terms. A final 

agreement has been circulated to the parties who are putting it through their various processes for 

approval. It is likely that the agreement will be signed very shortly, and perhaps within days. 

Based on the forthcoming settlement, the parties believe it very likely that this case will be 

resolved without further judicial involvement. 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 75 days, up to and including May 5, 2008. 

This should permit the parties to execute the settlement agreement, submit the agreement to the 

appropriate government agencies for statutory review, and file a stipulated dismissal terminating 

this matter.
