HERNANDEZ, District Judge:
Plaintiff Bark's motion for a temporary restraining order(# 21), which the Court
previously denied as moot, was reopened pursuant to Order(# 28). Having reviewed and
considered the motion and supporting documents, the temporary restraining order ("TRO") is
necessary to prevent the irreparable injury resulting from logging activities.

From _ 4:25_ _-,-p.m. on November 8, 2013 , the TROis GRANTED as follows :
_
Defendants and any private, state, or local entities or individuals operating under
instructions or authorization from defendants, or under contract with defendants, are temporarily
restrained from authorizing, allowing, carrying out, or continuing any ground-disturbing or
vegetation-disturbing activities on federally-managed lands associated with the Jazz Thinning
Project, except as provided in this TRO. This TRO does not prohibit the federal Defendants
from authorizing Interfor to remove the logs cut on unit 37 of the Bass Sale during the week of
November 4-8, 2013 , with the self-loading log truck, subject to any conditions the Forest
Service' s contracting officials may require.
The security requirement of Rule 65(c) is waived. Pursuant to Rule 65(b), this TRO shall
expire in 14 days on November 22, 2013 . The TRO may be extended for good cause, such as the
filing of a motion for preliminary injunction.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
