United States Ninth Circuit
US v. Board of Directors of the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District, 12-15474
In an action concerning diversion of water from the Truckee and Carson Rivers to either irrigation use or for the benefit of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian Tribe, the mandate issued in U.S. v. Bell is withdrawn and the matter is remanded, where: 1) the Court was mistaken in its understanding of the scope of a gauge error; 2) the Court should not have limited recalculation of the amount of excess water diversions to the four years in which the district court initially found excess diversions; and 3) the Court should have ordered recalculation of the gauge error's impact in all the years potentially affected.
