In its Amended Memorandum Decision and Order, In re SRBA Case No. 39576, Subcase Nos. 67-15263 et al. (Idaho 5th Dist. Ct. Aug. 12, 2025) (amended to correct two typographical orders), the Snake River Basin Adjudication (SRBA) district court made a remarkable decision: The district court did not merely affirm or vacate the Special Master’s report and recommendation for the claimants’ de minimis stockwater claims. Instead, the district court decreed an even earlier priority date than was originally recommended by the Special Master.
