The United States Attorney may stipulate to any fact required to be proved by the government, or to the authenticity of government records. In no case except certain direct referral matters should a United States Attorney enter into a stipulation concluding the substantive rights of the United States, or consent to entry of judgment in favor of the adverse party, without specific authority from the Environment and Natural Resources Division. Specific authority from the Environment and Natural Resources Division to enter into such stipulations, or consent to judgment, is required in all delegated matters and in direct referral matters involving enforcement of wildlife-related statutes listed in 5-10.120.
