A federal judge in California spared the Bureau of Land Management a contempt of court ruling over the Bush administration's failure to live up to a Clinton-era promise.

The BLM is supposed to get ranchers to remove 10,000 cattle from 500,000 acres of public land considered vital to the desert tortoise. That was supposed to happen by March 1 but the judge has instead agreed to let Interior comply by September 7.
