ORDER

This case arises out of alleged trespassing of private cattle on federal land. The Court

15

conducted a bench trial between March and June 2012. The Government has asked the Court to

16

clarify its comments from the bench at the conclusion of trial. Specifically, the Government asks

17

the Court whether it intended its comments regarding injunctions to be an immediately effective

18

speaking order, or whether the Government should anticipate a further written order based upon

19

the Court’s comments that it would await briefing and the Court’s solicitation of suggested

20

language. The Court clarifies that it intends to issue a written findings of fact, conclusions of

21

law, and injunction only after receiving final briefing by the parties. The Court did not intend

22

for its comments to constitute an immediately effective speaking order.
