After the University of California’s incessant begging, Judge Barbara Miller promised that she would rule “soon” on their request for her to OK immediate construction of the Memorial Stadium’s planned sports facility. As soon as she gives the green light, it’s official–the university won–but what does “soon” mean? And does a ruling mean the last of tree-sitters will finally depart?

Not exactly. Although if you haven’t been keeping up with the story, newbie “Jeff Muskrat” already left the trees last week due to a death in the family. Now we’re down to three.

Strip away all the drama, and you can see just how much money the university wasted on this fiasco. However, there may be some good news on that front–according to CBS5, “Miller indicated she was also considering an order that the university be reimbursed for some of its legal costs during the protracted court battle.” Such a nice lady.
