This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Before: SCHROEDER and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges, and JARVEY, District
Judge.**
This case is remanded to the district court for reconsideration of all four of
the Winter factors (see Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, – U.S. –, 129 S.Ct.
365, 374 (2008)), and to re-analyze them in light of our recent decisions in
Alliance for Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 09-35756, 2010 WL 3665149 (9th Cir. July
28, 2010) (amended Sept. 22, 2010) (articulating a post-Winter “sliding-scale”
test), and Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Cmty. v.
California, No. 09-16942, 2010 WL 3274490 (9th Cir. Aug. 20, 2010) (altering the
Eastern District Court of California’s interpretation of the IGRA Compact formula
for determining the total number of Class III gaming licenses at issue). If upon
reconsideration the district court determines injunctive relief is warranted, it must
justify any alteration of the status quo. See Tanner Motor Livery, Ltd. v. Avis, Inc.,
316 F.2d 804 (9th Cir. 1963).
Should there be another challenge to the district court’s decision on remand
regarding the propriety of continuing injunctive relief, the district court is directed
to expeditiously proceed to address the merits of the underlying Compact litigation
during the pendency of any further interlocutory appeal. See Britton v. Co-op

The Honorable John A. Jarvey, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa, sitting by designation.

Banking Grp., 916 F.2d 1405, 1412 (9th Cir. 1990) (“[A]n appeal of an
interlocutory order does not ordinarily deprive the district court of jurisdiction
except with regard to the matters that are the subject of the appeal.”) (citing
Manual for Complex Litigation §§ 25.11, 25.16 (2d Ed.)).
Because this case is remanded to the district court, Appellee’s July 15, 2010,
motion to take judicial notice is denied as moot. The injunction is to stay in effect
pending the district court’s reconsideration. Each party shall bear its own costs.
The panel will retain jurisdiction over any subsequent appeals.
REMANDED.
