One down, one to go. Apparently the judge is going to do the DU again this week. The Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe has requested an "intervention" (as if Thacker Pass has a drinking problem), which might lead to a second injunction attempt. This July 24 article says it better than me.

"But the timeline for the archeological excavations remains an open question, and Du said at a hearing last week that the court is still weighing a second effort to stop the digging. 

On Tuesday, the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony and members of the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe asked the court to intervene in the case, alleging violations of the National Historic Preservation Act. Du expects to rule on the request next week. 

If the court grants intervention, the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony and Fort McDermitt members, ​​Atsa koodakuh wyh Nuwu, or People of Red Mountain, could seek their own injunction."
