CASE NO. 1:13-cv-00223-LJO-JLT

JUDGMENT AND ORDER OF RELIEF

The Court has ruled in favor of the Plaintiff on Claim One that the Federal Defendants

improperly charged recreation fees at the Miracle Hot Springs standard amenity recreation fee 

site in the Lower Kern River area of the Sequoia National Forest. The Court has ruled in favor 

of Federal Defendants on the remaining issues related to Claim One, and Claim Two in its 

entirety.

Accordingly, the Court ENJOINS Federal Defendants from collecting recreation fees at 

the Miracle Hot Springs site, unless and until a permanent toilet facility as contemplated in this 

Court’s Opinion, ECF No. 48, is constructed at the site; it ORDERS Federal Defendants to issue 

Mr. Peter Wiechers a $10 refund of recreation fees paid; and it DECLARES that Plaintiff’s June 

30, 2012 “Notice of Required Fee” is VOID.
