1Opinion of the Court
GOODWIN, Circuit Judge.
The district court, in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging an alleged threat to divest plaintiffs’ irrigation water rights, enjoined the named state officials from taking any action to enforce a recent decree of the state courts that appeared to be adverse to the property rights of the plaintiffs. The state officials appeal, raising a number of procedural and substantive issues. We will first set out the factual context in which this dispute has kept territorial, state, and federal courts intermittently busy for more than sixty years.
