ORDER VACATING

HEARING DATE OF

DECEMBER 15, 2006,

SETTING NEW HEARING

FOR DECEMBER 19, 2006,

AND GRANTING THE

COUNTY’S MOTION TO

SHORTEN TIME

This case was removed from the Superior Court of Madera County. Currently set for

hearing on December 15, 2006, at 1:30 p.m. is the County of Madera’s motion for temporary

restraining order and the Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians (“the Tribe”)’s motion to

transfer. The County now moves to remand this case under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

1447 and requests an order shortening time so that its remand motion is heard prior to or

contemporaneously with the motions for transfer and temporary restraining order. The Court had

previously granted the Tribe’s motion to shorten time and set a briefing schedule on the motion

to transfer. The Court will grant the County’s motion to shorten time, but given that there are

now three motions pending in this matter, the Court will modify the briefing schedules and

hearing date.
