A federal judge in a Clean Water Act case in California asked the parties to work together on a scheduling order to simply designate the administrative record that the judge will have to review. This is a pretty standard request by judges, and the parties are able to agree to the necessary tasks and deadlines.
Not this time:
Instead of filing a schedule that would lead up to a completed administrative record to be lodged by November 6, counsel on all sides filed a blather-like and open-ended failure to agree on anything of significance (Dkt. No. 227).
Maybe the only treasure is the blather along the way.
he/him we all just have to live through it,
holding each other’s hands.
