UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME AND REVISED SCHEDULING ORDER

MIRANDA M. DU, District Judge.

Federal Defendants S.M.R. Jewell, Secretary of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ("FWS") hereby request a four-week extension of time to file their opening summary judgment brief and for an Order revising the briefing schedule for cross-motions for summary judgment, pursuant to Local Rules 6-1(b) and 6-2(a) and Judge Du's Civil Standing Order. Undersigned counsel for Federal Defendants have conferred with counsel for Defendant-Intervenor, who have indicated that they concur in the revised schedule and do not oppose this motion. Counsel for Plaintiffs have indicated that they do not oppose this motion, but that the proposed extension may result in Plaintiffs requesting some extension of their revised Response deadline once their counsel's schedule in April and May becomes more clear.

Federal Defendants have not requested any previous extensions in this case. The Court has granted one previous extension to Plaintiffs, at which time the Court entered a revised scheduling order (ECF No. 33).

The extension requested in this motion is necessary due to counsel's litigation obligations in other cases, including Sierra Club v. Bostick, No. 13-cv-1239 (D. D.C.); Bettor Racing v. NIGC, No. 13-cv-4051 (D. S.D.); Friends of the Wild Swan v. Jewell, No. 9:13-cv-00061-DWM (D. Mont.). Granting this motion will not prejudice any party and will not affect any courtordered deadline aside from those set forth in the proposed revised briefing schedule below. Accordingly, Federal Defendants respectfully request an extension of their deadline to crossmove for summary judgment, with that deadline and the subsequent deadlines to be revised as follows:

For the foregoing reasons, Federal Defendants respectfully request that this Court grant this unopposed motion.
