Forest Service Reserved Ril!hts Cases, Case Nos. W-1146-73 et al.. Water Division 7. <br />Another status report is due to the court on June 15, 2005. <br /> <br />2. Kansas v. Colorado. United States Supreme Court. No. 105. Oril!inaI. <br /> <br />On December 7 the United States Supreme Court denied all of Kansas' exceptions to the <br />Fourth Report of the Special Master. The Court did not accept Kansas' new argument regarding <br />calculation of prejudgment interest on damages. We estimate the total amount of damages <br />Colorado owed at the beginning of2004 at $32.7 million. In addition, the Court rejected <br />Kansas' request for a river master, its objection to ten-year running averages in the use of the <br />model, and its other objections to various aspects of the model. The case is now back before the <br />Special Master for entry of a final decree. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I TexI concerning previously reported matters will usually contain only information on recent developments rather <br />than repeating background information.
