that end, we have started spending the money raised to hire a hydrologist. As
you may remember, Tom Myers has been here and looked at the situation on the ground.
We have now asked him to put together a model of the hydrology of the Plains aquifer
so that we can be prepared if the Appellate Court decides there should be a hearing
on the substance of the application. I don’t know anyone attempting to say
what the Court will do, so we must be prepared for every possibility.

September
26, 2019 - “The Augustin Plains Ranch filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals. The Ranch is seeking to have the Court of Appeals rule that Judge Reynolds made the wrong decision. We do not know the specific grounds that the Ranch will argue, but the gist of the appeal will be that Judge Reynolds made one or more mistakes and the Court of Appeals should reverse his ruling. “The
motion filed by the State Engineer is separate from and not related to the appeal
filed by the Ranch. The State Engineer is not asking that Judge Reynolds change
his decision denying the Ranch's application. Rather, the State Engineer has asked
Judge Reynolds to correct three mistakes that he made. The State Engineer has
asserted that: “1)
Judge Reynolds only had authority to dismiss the Ranch's appeal from the State
Engineer ruling, and Judge Reynolds did not have authority to dismiss the Ranch's
application; “2)
Judge Reynolds did not have authority to dismiss the Ranch's application with
prejudice because that means that the Ranch cannot ever file an application to
appropriate water again; and “3)
Judge Reynolds's order should have specified that it was limited to the application
filed by the Ranch in 2014 and amended in 2016.” Download
