KING COUNTY, Plaintiff, v. BP PLC, et al., Defendants.
ORDER CONTINUING STAY
Robert S. Lasnik United States District Judge
This matter comes before the Court on the “Joint Status Report” filed by the parties on June 28, 2021. Dkt. # 172. The parties have jointly proposed that the Court “continue the stay in this matter and direct the parties to submit a further joint status report, including a proposal for next steps, to the Court by July 6, 2021.” Id. The parties assert that they have been discussing next steps for proceedings in this case in light of the Supreme Court's denial of the petition for a writ of certiorari in the Ninth Circuit's decision in City of Oakland v. BP PLC, No. 18-16663. See Chevron Corp. v. City of Oakland, No. 20-1089, at *1 (U.S. June 14, 2021).
Finding good cause, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the stay in this case be continued. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties file a joint status report regarding next steps for this matter by July 6, 2021.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
