ORDER CONTINUING STAY OF ACTION
AND REQUIRING PARTIES TO FILE
JOINT STATUS REPORT BY JANUARY
15, 2022

14
(ECF No. 39)
15
16

Prior to being transferred to the Eastern District of California, this matter was stayed

17 pending a final decision of the Department of the Interior (“DOI”) recognizing a government for
18 the California Valley Miwok Tribe (“the Tribe”). On January 19, 2021, the stay of this matter
19 was continued and the parties were ordered to file a joint status report on or before July 15, 2021.
20 (ECF No. 38.) On July 15, 2021, the parties filed a joint status report. (ECF No. 39.) The status
21 report indicates that the DOI has not yet issued a final decision recognizing a government for the
22 Tribe and it is unknown when a decision may be reached. Accordingly, the Court finds that it is
23 appropriate to continue the stay of this matter. The parties shall be required to file a joint report
24 addressing only the status of the final decision of the DOI by January 15, 2022, or within
25 fourteen (14) days of a final decision, whichever is sooner.
