        Re: The People v. Rinehart, Case No. C074662
        Request for Publication

Dear Honorable Justices:

       Pursuant to California Rule of Court 8.1120, I write to request that the Court order slip
opinion issued in The People v. Rinehart (Case No. C074662) be certified for publication.

      As a miner in the State of California, I have a keen interest in establishing that federal
mining laws impose substantive limits on the power of the State of California to regulate my
activities on federal land.

      Publication is appropriate because this opinion establishes a rule of law not previously
set forth in California opinions, though established in federal court cases, and involves a legal
issue of continuing public interest. There are numerous ongoing lawsuits in California
concerning the scope of the State's regulatory powers over mining on federal land, and the
absence of California precedent has caused increased costs and delay for litigants and the
State.

      Thank you for your consideration of this request.


                                                               Sincerely,
