The reason for the requested extension is that Plaintiffs’ lead counsel will be out on 3 bereavement leave September 8-12, and counsel for Plaintiffs and the United States also need 4 additional time to prepare responses/replies to the summary judgment responses and cross- 5 motions filed July 29 by OWRD, KWUA, and KID, which total over 200 pages, as well as to 6 respond to KID’s Motion to Strike (Doc. 1039), Motion for Stay (Doc. 1040), Rule 56(d) 7 Request to Extend Hearing on the Pending Summary Judgment Motions and Permit Discovery 8 (Doc. 1041-3), and Request for Judicial Notice (collectively “KID’s Motions”). 9 In addition, the Parties stipulate that they do not oppose an anticipated motion for leave 10 to submit an amicus brief by the State of California, with a September 15 deadline for the filing 11 the motion and proposed amicus brief and a November 9 deadline for any party to respond to the 12 amicus brief, if the amicus brief is accepted for filing. 13 The Parties previously stipulated that briefing on KID’s Motions be placed on the same 14 schedule as briefing on the summary judgment motions and cross-motions filed in connection 15 with the First Cause of Action of the United States’ crossclaim and KWUA’s and OWRD’s 16 counterclaims, with responses to KID’s Motions due September 12, 2022 and KID’s replies due 17 October 27, 2022.

ECF Nos. 1034, 1035, 1036, 1037. The Parties also previously stipulated 21 to an extension of OWRD’s responsive-pleading deadline. ECF No. 990. The Parties have not 22 requested or received any other extensions of time since OWRD appeared in this action. 23 Accordingly, the Parties stipulate as follows: 24 1. All replies from the United States and Plaintiffs to oppositions to their motions to 25 for summary judgment and all responses to the motions filed by OWRD, KWUA, and KID on 26 July 29, 2022 shall be filed by September 26, 2022. 27 28 2.
