For those who aren’t in a complete loss-induced stupor, they will remember that in parallel to the BIG court case run by Judge Miller that will determine the fate of the SAHPC, the University also requested of another judge that he grant an order to remove the tree-sitters from the trees. Judge Keller agreed and granted the order but he only did it for the individuals the University could name. Unfortunately for Cal fans, the tree sitters look more like terrorists than citizens and are unwilling to give their real names. As such there was only one person affected by the original order. Unaffected by that setback, the University went back to court and asked that all who are perched in the trees, whether they be named or not, be ordered out.

Today Judge Keller granted that order.

Good news for Bears fans. I suspect it won’t make a difference for the WSU or USC games as the University has shown over and over that they have no interest in setting up a 24-hour survellance of the site to prevent the tree-sitters from re-entering the trees (and as such aren’t going to remove the sitters until the trees are about to come down) and somehow I doubt the tree-sitters are going to come down voluntarily. But this is good news nevertheless.
