DEFENDANTS' JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME (THIRTEENTH REQUEST) AND ORDER THEREON
LARRY R. HICKS, DISTRICT JUDGE
On May 9, 2022, counsel for Defendant-Intervenor/Cross-Claimant Carlin/Hecla (Hecla) and Federal Defendants filed their Twelfth 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 May 11, 2022 (ECF No. 157).
Under the Court's May 11, 2022 Order, Hecla's Opposition to Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment and Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgement are due August 15, 2022; and
Federal Defendants' Reply in Support of Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment is due September 5, 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.
The following deadlines would apply:
1. Hecla to file Opposition to Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment and Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment: December 15, 2022.
2. Federal Defendants to file Reply in Support of Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment: January 5, 2023.
