US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 595 F.2d 524 (9th Cir. 1979) April 23, 1979

ORDER MODIFYING OPINION

Before BROWNING and KOELSCH, Circuit Judges and WOLLENBERG*  District Judge.

In our opinion of August 18, 1977, 559 F.2d 509, this Court reversed the judgment of the district court. In so doing, we failed to state that we affirm that portion of the trial court's decision, stipulated to by the parties, that the acreage limitation provisions of the reclamation law have no application to lands owned by the State of California in its Imperial Water Fowl Management Area.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this Court's opinion of August 18, 1977, be modified such that the judgment of the district court is reversed, except insofar as it determines that the acreage limitation provisions of the reclamation law have no application to lands owned by the State of California in its Imperial Water Fowl Management Area.

 *

The Honorable Albert C. Wollenberg, Senior United States District Judge for the Northern District of California, sitting by designation
