Plaintiffs,

ORDER

vs.
CHIP WEBER, Flathead National
Forest Supervisor; et al.,
Defendants.

On August 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded this case:
for further proceedings concerning whether the Forest Service plans to
conduct harvest activity in the Glacier Loon subunit inconsistent with
the restrictions applicable to an inactive unit under the Swan Valley
Agreement, and, if so, for consideration whether to issue an injunction
requiring the Forest Service to reinitiate Endangered Species Act
consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service with respect to grizzly
bears.
(Memo. Disp., Doc. 120 at 8 (Aug. 7, 2019); Mandate, Doc. 121 (Sept. 30, 2019)).
On October 16, 2019, Federal Defendants were ordered to file a notice addressing
whether the Forest Service plans to conduct harvest activity as discussed above.
On October 25, 2019, Federal Defendants did so, indicating that future harvest
activities will "utiliz[e] inactive unit restrictions from the Swan Valley Grizzly
1

Bear Conservation Agreement, as specified in project analyses and contract
documents." (See Doc. 123.) Having fulfilled the terms of the remand,
IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to close the case file.
