    DoD, pursuant to its authority under 10 U.S.C. § 284(b)(7), assist with construction of fences, roads, and

    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.
