to resist a dangerous presidency. But the work that protests do often can’t
be seen in the moment. It feels empowering to march, and record numbers of Americans
have joined anti-Trump demonstrations, but when and why does marching matter?

WATER GRAB - SEC - LOCAL ENVIRO. & NEWS February
15, 2019 - PLEASE NOTE that I am NOT an attorney, and that these comments are as I understood the proceedings. Any errors are mine and should e considered in context...I tried to get it as error-free as possible. - Eileen Dodds There
were approximately 80 people (including the attorneys) in the small courtroom
in Reserve for the hearing. Judge Reynolds opened the proceedings... He called
on all attorneys to introduce themselves and state whom they represented. Mr. Lindeen, representing the Office of the State Engineer, was in favor of the discovery request, but also wanted a fully-developed record and all issues (including anti-speculation) argued. Jamie Park, representing some 80 clients of the NM Environmental Law Center, cited Article 16, Section 5 of a code, which limits the court to decisions based on OSE statutes. She said the facts in the application itself were enough for the court to decide on the Motion for Summary Judgment which the NMELC filed 60 days ago. She requested a hearing on that motion by March 15th. Mr. Dominici, representing Catron County, opposed the discovery request, saying the court has already reviewed everything, and that the OSE was comfortable with their decision. He supported the decision on summary judgment to be made sooner than later. Ms. Davidson, representing the Hand Family Trust, asked for a full argument on anti-speculation. Then
Judge Reynolds addressed the proceedings. He did not limit what anyone could file
on summary judgment if it was brought up in the OSE's denial and issues in the
ORIGINAL application. He said he thought this new application was different enough
from the original to allow it. BUT he expressed aggravation about the length of
time this has been going on (12 years), and by the LLC's request for discovery
at this time. He said they have had 12 years to discover everything, and they
should have raised the issue before. (Rule 56 ?) He said he needs to resolve Rule
56 to be able to consider "dismissing with prejudice", as it is a drastic
issue, and the APR is entitled to the benefit of doubt. He cautioned care on everyone's
responses. He told the LLC that just because the OSE may not have followed their
own statutes with other drilling applications, it was no reason to disregard the
statutes, and he would be looking at the LETTER of the law. He wants to see the
argument on the question of commercial sale of water proving "beneficial
use" in New Mexico. He said the LLC does NOT need an evidentiary delay. He
cautioned all attorneys against asking for continuances, and he set the calendar
for coming proceedings.

14, 2019 - January 7, 2019 - APR, LLC Update: ab) APR LLC filed an appeal to the State Engineer’s decision to deny their application to mine water in the Plains of San Augustin. That appeal was made to the 7th Judicial District Court. Judge Reynolds is the water Judge. Their action required a reaction and that has indeed occurred. Doug Meiklejohn of the New Mexico Environmental Law Center has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. That kind of Motion requests the Judge to throw out the appeal and deny the application as did the State Engineer. Download the motion below. Judge Reynolds has responded by setting a date for a hearing. The hearing announcement is also attached. PLEASE NOTE THE DATE: February 13, time 11:30, place Courthouse in Reserve. Your attendance is urgently requested, so please put this date on your calendar. The Judge needs to know we care as a community about this dreadful proposal to take 54000 acre feet of water every year from our aquifer. Related
