• On December 11, 2019, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California also issued an
injunction finding that the United States did not satisfy the requirements of Section 2808. The court stayed the
injunction, therefore this ruling is not currently impacting construction schedules for 2808 projects. However, the
plaintiffs asked the Northern District of California and the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to lift the stay
and allow the injunction to go into effect. The court has not yet ruled on the plaintiff’s request.
