Court Documents from the 1970 Pit River Indian Tribe vs. Walter J. Hickel Case, 1970-07-20

The court issued a preliminary injunction in favor of the Pit River Indian Tribe, preventing the defendants from making any changes to the XL Ranch Indian Reservation without providing 90 days' notice to the tribe. The court found that the plaintiffs would suffer irreparable harm if the defendants were not enjoined, and that the plaintiffs had a strong likelihood of success on their claims. The court also ruled that the plaintiffs did not need to post a bond or security, and that they could seek a full hearing as requested in the complaint.
