In the last two weeks of July or anytime in August some members of Council can make themselves available for a hearing. ‘As Counsel for the Colony, I, too, can be available in July or August for a hearing in Winnemucca, Nevada. ‘The Council cannot presently reside on the Colony lands because of the constant threats from the Petitioners so travel is required. Tam presently admitted to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Federal Circuit, the Eighth and Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and all the Federal Courts under those Circuits. Ihave practiced law for nearly forty years, mostly in federal court. I have filed injunctions in the federal courts on several occasions and if the parties were not available for hearing, the federal courts would extend the temporary injunction without prejudice and reset a hearing when all parties could be present in order to avoid prejudice to any party. 7. The Council has agreed that no further notice of evictions as requested by the Petitioners will go to the residents who have failed and refused to enter into agreements with the Council and that no evictions will occur until after the Court has convened a hearing wherein all parties can be present. ‘Treva J.
