On December 19, 2008, the Utah State Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) held a quarterly oil and gas lease sale. At that sale, the BLM auctioned 116 parcels, including 77 parcels that became subject of a Federal District Court temporary injunction. On January 17, 2009, the court entered a temporary injunction against the sale of the parcels after concluding that plaintiffs had established a likelihood of success on the merits regarding their claims that the proposed lease sales violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
