ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order 7 is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the BIA must give interim recognition to some person or body of persons as the legitima te representative(s) of the Winnemucca Indian Colony of Nevada and manifest its decision by notice in the docket no later than 5:00 p.m. PDT on September 7, 2011. The Colony suffers irreparable injury every day it is deprived of services and opportun ities to which it is otherwise entitled as a federally recognized Indian nation, including the ability to engage in self-sustaining economic activity on colonial land. The BIAs prolonged refusal to treat with the Colony amounts to a de facto terminat ion of the sovereign recognition the Colony has been granted by Congress, which is likely to lead to the irreparable political dissolution of the Colonys sovereign existence. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion for Preliminary Injunction [8 ] will be heard in Reno Courtroom 6 on the stacked 9:00 a.m. calender on September 12, 2011. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order expires at 12:00 p.m. PDT on September 13, 2011. IT IS SO ORDERED. (See attached PDF for specifics.) Signed by Chief Judge Robert C. Jones.
