             DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA

                IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF GARFIELD


People of the United States        Case No. 2721
of America, ex relatione
     Paul Andrew Mitchell,         EMERGENCY PETITION FOR
                                   TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
          Petitioners

     v.

United States et al.,

          Respondent

______________________________/


COME NOW the People of the United States of America, ex relatione

Paul Andrew,  Mitchell, B.A.,  M.S., Citizen of Arizona state and

federal witness,  hereinafter  "Petitioners",  to  Petition  this

honorable Court  for an  immediate  Temporary  Restraining  Order

restraining all  officers, agents,  and employees  of the  United

States from  using any  lethal force  in its pending negotiations

with the  so-called "Freemen  of Montana"  at Justus Township now

situated within the geographic venue of this Court.

     The recent  federal court order removing the news media from

the area  constitutes probable cause to believe that bloodshed is

imminent, that  email just  now received  by me  states  that  "a

convoy of vehicles, including 5 ambulances are moving towards the

Freemen ranch and that the press have been told to move away by 9

p.m. local  time," and  therefore the  doctrine of  necessity now

controls in  this situation, in order to guarantee the objectives

of the  Declaration of  Independence  and  the  Preamble  in  the

Constitution for  the  United  States  of  America,  as  lawfully

amended, which prohibits summary punishment, to wit:

     "... [N]or  shall  any  person  ...  be  deprived  of  life,
     liberty, or property, without due process of law; ....


Executed on May 30, 1996

Good cause having been demonstrated for same,


IT IS  HEREBY ORDERED  that all officers, agents and employees of
the United  States now  situated within Garfield County, Montana,
are hereby  restrained from  using  any  lethal  force  in  their
ongoing negotiations  with inhabitants  of Justus Township, until
further notice.

IT IS  FURTHER ORDERED  that there will be no further deprivation
of life,  liberty,  or  property  without  due  process  of  Law,
consistent with  the Fifth  Amendment to the Constitution for the
United States of America, as lawfully amended.

The Clerk  will serve  this Order  upon the nearest office of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation with all deliberate speed.
