No. CV10-2130-PHX-DGC

ORDER AND JUDGMENT 

 The Court previously granted motions for summary judgment filed by Plaintiffs 

and Plaintiff-Intervenors (Doc. 57, 61, 63) to the extent they asserted that FWS’s desert 

eagle 12-month finding was procedurally flawed. Doc. 88. The Court remanded the 

finding to FWS for reconsideration. That reconsideration is now complete (Doc. 99), and 

the Court therefore enters the following Order and Judgment:
