FOURTH STIPULATION AND JOINT MOTION TO STAY BRIEFING RE: PLAINTIFFS WHITE PINE COUNTY ET AL.'S MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS
ORDER
ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.
To facilitate ongoing settlement discussions regarding the motion for attorneys' fees and costs filed by Plaintiffs White Pine County, et al. ("the County") in this case, the County and Defendants U.S. Bureau of Land Management, et al. ("Federal Defendants") hereby stipulate to and respectfully request that the Court enter an order further staying briefing on the County's motion for fees and costs for an additional 60 days, until September 17, 2018. In support of this motion, the County and Federal Defendants stipulate as follows:
1. On January 22, 2018, the County filed a motion for attorneys' fees and costs (ECF No. 156) and a stipulation and joint motion to stay briefing on that motion (ECF No. 157).
2. On January 23, 2018, the Court granted the parties' stipulation and joint motion to stay briefing and ordered briefing stayed for 60 days to allow time for settlement discussions regarding the County's motion (ECF No. 158). On March 19, 2018, the Court granted the parties' second stipulation and joint motion to stay briefing and extended the stay of briefing until May 18, 2018 (ECF Nos. 163 & 164). And on May 16, 2018, the Court granted the parties' third stipulation and joint motion to stay briefing and extended the stay to July 17, 2018 (ECF No. 168).
3. The County and Federal Defendants agree that progress has been made in negotiations, and that briefing and argument on the County's motion for attorneys' fees and costs may be unnecessary in light of the parties' ongoing attempt to settle this issue. The County and Federal Defendants agree that they need additional time beyond July 17, 2018 to conduct additional negotiations to reach a settlement as to the County's motion.
4. Accordingly, the County and Federal Defendants agree that briefing on the County's motion for attorneys' fees and costs should be further stayed for an additional 60 days, until September 17, 2018. At that time, the parties will either jointly propose a briefing schedule to address the County's motion for attorneys' fees and costs, or apprise the Court of the status of the County's motion and any request for action by the Court.
Based on the foregoing, the County and Federal Defendants respectfully request that the Court further stay briefing and argument on the County's motion for attorneys' fees and costs for an additional 60 days until September 17, 2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
