STIPULATION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND COMPLAINT AND
JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE JOINT STATUS REPORT
WHEREAS the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe has been beset by a long-running leadership dispute over control of the Tribe;
WHEREAS Plaintiffs, who represent one of the two factions claiming to be the governing body of the Tribe, have filed this Administrative Procedure Act action challenging Defendants' March 1, 2011 decision to recognize the other faction as the governing body for a limited time;
WHEREAS Plaintiffs obtained leave of Defendants and the Court to file their First Amended Complaint on July 29, 2011;
WHEREAS Defendant Echo Hawk issued a further decision in the matter of the competing Timbisha Shoshone Tribal factions on July 29, 2011 at or about 5:00 PM Eastern Time;
WHEREAS Plaintiffs wish to address the July 29, 2011 decision by Echo Hawk in their First Amended Complaint;
WHEREAS filing a Joint Status Report on the First Amended Complaint rather than the original Complaint would be in the interest of judicial economy;
NOW THEREFORE the parties to this action hereby stipulate and respectfully request that the Court enter an Order as follows:
1. The Plaintiffs shall file their First Amended Complaint on or before Friday, August 5, 2011.
2. The Defendants shall file their Answer or other responsive pleading on or before September 6, 2011.
3. The Parties shall file their Joint Status Report no later than November 4, 2011.
