LARRY R. HICKS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On November 15, 2021, counsel for Defendant-Intervenor/Cross-Claimant Carlin/Hecla (Hecla) and Federal Defendants filed a their Ninth Joint Motion for Extension of Time extending deadlines for summary judgment briefing in this case brought pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706 et seq. This Joint Motion for Extension of Time was granted by the Court on November 22, 2021 (ECF No. 153).
Under the Court's November 22, 2021 Order, Hecla's Opposition to Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment and Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgement are due January 15, 2022; and Federal Defendants' Reply in Support of Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment is due February 05, 2022.
The Federal Defendants and Hecla have been engaged in settlement discussions and believe they may have a proposed settlement to submit for approval, subject to final client approval. Federal Defendants and Hecla have been making efforts to see if all parties would participate in a possible resolution. To allow the parties to continue their focus on the potential settlement resolution, Hecla and Federal Defendants hereby jointly move to extend the deadlines as indicated below. All such briefing will be limited to Hecla's cross claims given that the joint status report and scheduling orders submitted have only involved Hecla and the Federal Defendants.
