ORDER RE: DECLARATORY RELIEF 

CLAIMS

1 

Case 2:08-cv-01333-JAM-EFB Document 227 Filed 02/08/10 Page 1 of 2
The granting of declaratory relief rests in the sound 

discretion of the Court. Accordingly, the Court intends to 

enter judgment in Plaintiff’s favor with respect to his request 

for declaratory and injunctive relief in his Prayer for Relief 

in the First Amended Complaint, but only insofar as said 

judgment is consistent with the Court’s ruling on the parties’ 

Rule 50 motions (See Jury Instruction No. 18). The Court further 

intends to enter judgment against Defendants and in favor of 

Plaintiff on Defendants’ Second Claim for Relief (Declaratory 

Relief), but only insofar as said judgment is consistent with 

the Court’s ruling on the parties’ Rule 50 motions (See Jury 

Instruction No. 18).
