EMERGENCY MOTION TO EXTEND TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
OUT PREJUDICE IL ALL PARTIES. ATTEND A COURT
HEARING
‘The Winnemucca Indian Colony is severely prejudiced by the late service of the
Petitions upon the Chairman. The Winnemucca Indian Colony is further prejudiced by
the date the hearing has been set in that counsel for the Colony and the Chairman
cannot travel because of recent surgery and the other members of Council cannot travel
on that date without the Chairman of the Colony. The Counsel for the Colony has
practices law in federal courts for the last forty years and it is accepted practice to
extend a temporary injunction until a hearing can be scheduled for all parties to attend,
especially when significant matters must be briefed and argued. See, Declaration of
‘Treva J. Hearne.
‘The Petitions raise serious and complex issues of res judicata, due process, Tribal
sovereignty, and the right for the Colony to protect its resources and enforce its dulyadopted laws and regulations. Moreover, the Petitions are not supported by facts or law
and the Petitioners should be given opportunity to provide both.
Ren
‘The face of the Service document clearly states that the Respondent shall have
thirty days within which to answer the Petition. The extension of the temporary
injunction can be done without prejudice to all parties for so long as the Court makes no
ruling on the substantive matters before the Court.
WHEREFORE FOR THE ABOVE-STATED REASONS, the Respondents move for
Sport oot icy
an emergency order to vacate the hearing on June 10 to be set at a later and agreed
11 |] upon date and that the Petitioners and Respondents be given a reasonable time to
Respond to the issues and Reply to the issues and that the temporary injunction be
extended without prejudice to the parties until a hearing can be scheduled in July or

Treva J. HearneDECLARATION OF TREVA J. HEARNE,
I, Treva J. Hearne, state upon penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States, the
following:
1
1am the Counsel for the Winnemucca Indian Colony and have been since March
2000.
Thave contacted all of the Council of the Winnemucca Indian Colony and most
have employment and cannot get time off to attend the hearing upon such short
notice, one is in a wheel chair and cannot travel alone and the Chairman has
recently had surgery and cannot travel for two weeks.
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. Hearne states that the statements above are true and correct to the best of
her knowledge and belief.
