ORDER

Case No. 4:15-cv-016

Plaintiff initiated the above entitled action by complaint in February 2015, seeking: (1) a
declaration of its right to conduct geophysical exploration activities on property owned by defendant
in Mountrail County, North Dakota; and (2) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent
defendant from interfering with its ability to exercise this right.
On motion by plaintiff, the court issued an order in which it temporarily restrained defendant
from interfering with plaintiff’s engagement in geophysical exploration activities on her property
and scheduled hearing for February 25, 2015, to consider whether a preliminary injunction should
be issued. Pursuant to stipulations subsequently filed by the parties, it extended the temporary
restraining order and continued the hearing until April 20, 2015.
On April 20, 2015, the court dissolved the temporary restraining order and cancelled the
hearing at plaintiff’s request and after being advised by plaintiff that it had completed its activities
on defendant’s property. There has since been no apparent activity in this case.
To assess where things now stand and to determine how the parties wish to proceed, the
undersigned shall conduct a status conference by telephone on December 18, 2015, at 10:00 a.m.
CST. The court shall initiate the conference call.
