Defendants, the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (“Northern Water”), the
Northern Integrated Supply Project Water Activity Enterprise’s (“NISP Enterprise”), and
Defendant–Cross Claimant, the City of Fort Collins (“Fort Collins”), have reached a stipulated
agreement requesting that the Court extend the deadline for Northern Water and the NISP
Enterprise to file an answer or other response to Plaintiffs’ amended complaint and the City of Fort
Collins’ Cross-Claim. The current deadline is December 10, 2021. Northern Water, the NISP
Enterprise, and Fort Collins respectfully request until January 7, 2021 for Northern Water and the
NISP Enterprise to respond.
Pursuant to C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-15(8), counsel for Northern Water, the NISP Enterprise, and
Fort Collins certify that they conferred with the other parties regarding the relief requested in this
Motion. Plaintiffs do not oppose the request for an extension in this Motion.
Currently, Northern Water, the NISP Enterprise, and Fort Collins are negotiating a
stipulation that would resolve Fort Collins’ Cross-Claim and allow Fort Collins to dismiss its Cross
Claim pursuant to C.R.C.P. 41(a)(1)(A), before Northern Water’s and the NISP Enterprise’s
2
responsive pleading to the Cross Claim is due. Northern Water, The NISP Enterprise, and Fort
Collins also agree that such a stipulation would likely moot any remaining claim presented by
Plaintiffs in this action, eliminating any need for Northern Water and the NISP Enterprise to
respond to Plaintiffs’ amended complaint, thereby resolving this lawsuit.
Northern Water, the NISP Enterprise, and Fort Collins believe such a stipulation could be
reached before January 7, 2021 and that such a stipulation would spare the parties from further
litigation in this action. Therefore, Northern Water, the NISP Enterprise, and Fort Collins
respectfully request until January 7, 2021 for Northern Water and the NISP Enterprise to respond
to Plaintiffs’ amended complaint and the City of Fort Collins’ Cross-Claim.

Respectfully submitted: December 10, 2021.
