PROPOSED ORDER CONCERNING
SERVICE CUT-OFF DATE

)

Defendants

In its Case Management Order (#108), the Court directed that the United States of
America (“United States”) and the Walker River Paiute Tribe (“Tribe”) “shall effect service of
their respective First Amended Counterclaims, notices in lieu of summons, requests for waiver of
service, and the within Case Management Order” on the members of nine categories of water
rights holders described in paragraph 3 of this Court’s Case Management Order (C-125-B, Apr.
18, 2000) (“CMO”) (#108).
After extensive research and service efforts, the United States is in the process of
completing these service efforts. One issue the parties have raised with the Court is the
designation of a cut-off date respecting the defendants to be included in this action pursuant to
the CMO.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
The service cut-off date for Phase I of the Tribal Claims is December 31, 2009, and

includes water rights in existence as of that date.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
