ORDER

On May 23, 2008, the Court held a hearing on Plaintiffs’ Second Emergency

Application and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction.

Dkt. #26. For reasons stated in detail on the record, the Court denied the application.

Plaintiffs must exhaust their jurisdictional arguments in tribal court before asserting them in

this court. See National Farmers Union Ins. Co. v. Crow Tribe of Indians, 471 U.S. 845,

853-57 (1985); Dkt. #18.

IT IS ORDERED:

1. Plaintiffs’ Second Emergency Application and Motion for Temporary

Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. #26) is denied.

2. If the tribal courts decide that they do have jurisdiction to hear the eviction

action against Plaintiffs, Defendants must afford Plaintiffs a period of 15 days

to seek review of their jurisdictional arguments in this Court before entering

an order that will empower the Colorado River Indian Tribes to evict Plaintiffs
