the federal defendants; JENNIFER BUCKMAN, JIM THOMPSON and GREG

1 The court had previously ordered the parties to brief the

remedies for these claims in their consolidated briefs which were

filed on May 9, 2004. See April 18, 2005 Order at ¶ 3. 

2 Because the Federal and Friant defendants believe their

briefing on the appropriate remedy for an Endangered Species Act

violation applies equally to the National Environmental Policy Act

and Reclamation Act claims, the parties agreed that the Federal and

Friant defendants did not need additional time to brief those

issues separately.

consolidated brief on the remaining claims not relating to the

first cause of action.1 As a result of that discussion, the

court hereby makes the following ORDERS:

1. The Federal and Friant defendants are directed to file

with the court and serve on all parties, a letter, by June 6,

2005 at 4:00 p.m., which contains a comprehensive list of where,

in the briefs they have previously filed, the court can find

their discussion of the appropriate remedy should it find

violations under the Endangered Species Act.2 This letter is

not to contain any additional arguments but should be a simple

list of where the court can find the already-submitted sections

relevant to the remedies issues on the above-cited claim.
