The Air Force on Monday agreed to at least temporarily delay any discharge of a gay Mountain Home Air Force Base officer facing dismissal under "Don't ask, don't tell" until an Idaho federal judge can hear his arguments.

Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach on Monday withdrew his request for a temporary restraining order as a part of a deal with the Air Force.

The parties agreed to ask U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge to hear the case after the Air Force decides whether to keep Fehrenbach on duty or discharge him.

Fehrenbach, 40, of Boise, is a weapons systems officer who has been grounded since 2008. A Boise police investigation cleared him of an allegation of rape, but the Air Force moved to remove him because he acknowledged having consensual sex with his accuser.
