STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR CORPS TO FILE ITS REPLY

JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.

Defendant United States Army Corps of Engineers (the "Corps") moves for a seven-day extension, to and including July 12, 2019, for the Corps to file its reply in support of its Motion for Voluntary Remand (Doc. 37). Plaintiffs Sound Action, et al., stipulate to this request for a seven-day extension. The grounds for this motion are as follows:

1) In this case, Petitioners challenge under the Administrative Procedure Act a decision by the United States Army Corps of Engineers regarding the boundary of shoreline areas regulated under the Clean Water Act in the Corps' Seattle District.

2) In accordance with the Court's order (Doc. 36), the Corps filed on June 13, 2019, a Motion for Voluntary Remand (Doc. 37). In accordance with that order, Plaintiffs filed their response to the Corps' motion on July 1, 2019 (Doc. 38). The Corps' reply is due July 5, 2019.

3) The Corps requests an additional seven days, until July 12, 2019, to file its reply. This additional time is needed to allow the undersigned counsel for the Corps adequate time to review Plaintiffs' response and confer with the Corps, prepare a draft response, and to have that draft response reviewed by the Corps as well as the appropriate senior officials at the Corps and Department of Justice before it can be filed. Additional time is also needed because the undersigned counsel for the Corps will be out of the office on July 4, 2019, due to family and community commitments.

4) Plaintiffs stipulate to the relief requested by this motion.

WHEREFORE, the Corps respectfully requests an extension to and including July 12, 2019, to file the Corps' reply.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
