CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
27881.00029\33270071.1
Petitioners and Plaintiffs Kem County Water Agency, Antelope Valley-East Kem Water
Agency, Central Coast Water Authority, Dudley Ridge Water District, County of Kings, Oak Flat
Water District, Palmdale Water District, Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency, San Gabriel Valley
Municipal Water District, and Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District (collectively “Petitioners
and Plaintiffs”) file this Supplemental Case Management Conference Statement to respond to
Respondents’ and Defendants’ State of Califomia Department of Fish and Wildlife (“DFW”) and
State of Califomia Department of Water Resources (“DWR’”) (and collectively, “Respondents”)
Joint Case Management Statement filed on September4, 2020 because Respondents’ requests for
a.case management order and continuance were not raised during any meet-and-confer with
at 10 Petitioners and Plaintiffs.
wan 11 Respondents ask this Court to continue
the September 16, 2020 Case Management
OBuieZ
nu2ge
weZzao0
OGUx 12 Conference by 60 days and DWR requests this Court issue a scheduling order extending the
rw2oe2
Or tog
saaeoa
13 deadline to file a first responsive pleading to Plaintiffs’ breach of contract
and breach of the
bo
nS
ws
Be 14 implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing causes of action indefinitely, with the stated aim
15 of buying
more time to file
a demurrer. (Respondents’ Joint Case Management Statement at
16 pp. 6-9.) Petitioners and Plaintiffs do not object to a continuance of the CMC. Petitioners and
17 Plaintiffs respectfully request, however, that the Court deny Respondents’ request fora
18 scheduling order. If the Court is considering granting Respondent’ s request for a scheduling
19 order, Petitioners and Plaintiffs request an opportunity to brief the issue and be heard, or at the
20 very least an opportunity to address it at the CMC hearing.
21 Plaintiffs have not agreed that the deadline to file a first responsive
pleacing should be
22 extended. Respondents’ assertion that Code Civ. Proc. section 1089.5 arguably applies to non-
23 mandamus causes of action is unsupported by the plain text of that provision or any case law.
24.
1 Section 1089.5 provides in full: “Where a petition for writ of mandate is filed in the tial court
25 pursuant to Section 1088.5, and where a record of the proceedings to be reviewed has been filed
26 with the petition or where no record of a proceeding is required, the respondent shall answer or
otherwise respond within 30 days after service of the petition. However, where a record of the
27 proceeding to be reviewed has been requested pursuant to Section 11523 of the Govemment
Code, or otherwise, and has not been filed with the petition, the party upon whom the petition has
28 been served, including any real partyin interest, shall answer or otherwise respond within 30 days

SUPPLEMENTAL
CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
27881.00029\33270071.1
DWR offers no evidence that extending Respondents’ deadline to respond to the contract
claims will serve judicial economy or avoid the potential for multiple inconsistent rulings, which
would be the only legitimate reasons to extend it. Instead, Respondents inconsistently assert that
“Respondents do not believe it is efficient for any of the various Superior Courts to enter case
Management orders[,]” only to ask for exactly that in the next sentence: “Respondents request
that, with the exception of entering a scheduling order as to the timing of the responsive pleading
presented below, the Court continue the CMC for 60 days.” (Respondents’ Joint Case
Management Statement at p. 6:6-9.)
There is no risk of multiple inconsistent rulings with respect to the non-mandamus causes
at 10 of action in the three cases where such claims have been asserted because those three cases are
wan 11 pending before the same court—this one. Thus, there is no prejudice
to DWR if it must file a first
OBuieZ
nu2ge
weZzao0
OGUx 12 responsive pleading on or before the currently stipulated deadlines in the Metropolitan or SWC
rw2oe2
Or tog
saaeoa
13 cases. If DWR wants to keep those two cases in synch with the San Bernardino Valley Municipal
bo
nS
ws
Be 14 Water District Case, DWR easily can do so without this Court’s intervention. However, if the
15 Court grants DWR’s request to issue a case management order that effectively extends its
16 deadline indefinitely, it will prejudice Plaintiffs by delaying prosecution of their contractual
17 claims.
18 Respondents’ request for an order extending their deadline to file a first responsive
19 Pleading
to the non-mandamuis claims should
be denied, in which case the Plaintiffs and
20 Petitioners do not oppose a 60-day continuance of the CMC. If the Court is considering issuing a
21 scheduling order, Petitioners and Plaintiffs request that the Court provide an opportunity for
22 briefing
and hearing or, at a minimum, leave the CMC on calendar
so that Petitioners
and
23 Plaintiffs may be heard.

(Respondents’ Joint Case Management Statement at 16 pp. 6-9.) Petitioners and Plaintiffs do not object to a continuance of the CMC. Petitioners and 17 Plaintiffs respectfully request, however, that the Court deny Respondents’ request fora 18 scheduling order. If the Court is considering granting Respondent’ s request for a scheduling 19 order, Petitioners and Plaintiffs request an opportunity to brief the issue and be heard, or at the 20 very least an opportunity to address it at the CMC hearing. 21 Plaintiffs have not agreed that the deadline to file a first responsive pleacing should be 22 extended. Respondents’ assertion that Code Civ. Proc. section 1089.5 arguably applies to non- 23 mandamus causes of action is unsupported by the plain text of that provision or any case law. 24. 1 Section 1089.5 provides in full: “Where a petition for writ of mandate is filed in the tial court 25 pursuant to Section 1088.5, and where a record of the proceedings to be reviewed has been filed 26 with the petition or where no record of a proceeding is required, the respondent shall answer or otherwise respond within 30 days after service of the petition. However, where a record of the 27 proceeding to be reviewed has been requested pursuant to Section 11523 of the Govemment Code, or otherwise, and has not been filed with the petition, the party upon whom the petition has 28 been served, including any real partyin interest, shall answer or otherwise respond within 30 days -6- SUPPLEMENTAL CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT 27881.00029\33270071.1 DWR offers no evidence that extending Respondents’ deadline to respond to the contract claims will serve judicial economy or avoid the potential for multiple inconsistent rulings, which would be the only legitimate reasons to extend it. Instead, Respondents inconsistently assert that “Respondents do not believe it is efficient for any of the various Superior Courts to enter case Management orders[,]” only to ask for exactly that in the next sentence: “Respondents request that, with the exception of entering a scheduling order as to the timing of the responsive pleading presented below, the Court continue the CMC for 60 days.” (Respondents’ Joint Case Management Statement at p. 6:6-9.) There is no risk of multiple inconsistent rulings with respect to the non-mandamus causes at 10 of action in the three cases where such claims have been asserted because those three cases are wan 11 pending before the same court—this one. Thus, there is no prejudice to DWR if it must file a first OBuieZ nu2ge weZzao0 OGUx 12 responsive pleading on or before the currently stipulated deadlines in the Metropolitan or SWC rw2oe2 Or tog saaeoa 13 cases. If DWR wants to keep those two cases in synch with the San Bernardino Valley Municipal bo nS ws Be 14 Water District Case, DWR easily can do so without this Court’s intervention. However, if the 15 Court grants DWR’s request to issue a case management order that effectively extends its 16 deadline indefinitely, it will prejudice Plaintiffs by delaying prosecution of their contractual 17 claims. 18 Respondents’ request for an order extending their deadline to file a first responsive 19 Pleading to the non-mandamuis claims should be denied, in which case the Plaintiffs and 20 Petitioners do not oppose a 60-day continuance of the CMC. If the Court is considering issuing a 21 scheduling order, Petitioners and Plaintiffs request that the Court provide an opportunity for 22 briefing and hearing or, at a minimum, leave the CMC on calendar so that Petitioners and 23 Plaintiffs may be heard. 24. 25 26 27 28 following receipt of a copy of the record.” -7- SUPPLEMENTAL CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT 27881.00029\33270071.1 Dated: September 14, 2020 BEST BEST & KRIEGER LLP JOSEPH P.
