order Order on Motion to Clarify Thu 05/21 4:44 PM
MINUTE ORDER: The Court is in receipt of the Defendants'6 Unopposed Motion to Clarify, in which the Defendants seek clarification of the deadline for the filing of the certified list of the contents of the administrative record. The parties previously proposed that the Defendants be ordered to "file the administrative record... on or before June 8, 2026." Proposed Order, Dkt. No. 4-1. The Court instead ordered the filing of a "certified list of the contents of the administrative record" by June 8 because the Local Rules provide that, "[u]nless so requested by the Court, the entire administrative record shall not be filed with the Court." LCvR 7(n)(1). However, the Court did not intend the added certification deadline to impose an additional burden on the parties. Accordingly, the Defendants' 6 Unopposed Motion is GRANTED and the Court's Minute Order dated May 20, 2026, is CLARIFIED and AMENDED as follows: The Defendants shall provide the Plaintiff with a copy of the administrative record on or before June 8, 2026 . The Defendants are not required to file a certified list of the contents of the administrative record on or before June 8, 2026; instead, consistent with the Local Rule, they must do so "within 30 days following service of the answer to the complaint or simultaneously with the filing of a dispositive motion, whichever occurs first." LCvR 7(n)(1). Because the Court has stayed the deadline for the filing of a response to the Complaint and has not yet set a deadline for the filing of a dispositive motion, there is not yet a fixed deadline for the filing of this certified list under the Local Rule. Signed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on 05/21/2026. (lcckk1)
