The structure of the phase space for charged particle motion in magnetotail current sheets has been shown to lead to observable structures in particle velocity distributions, including the now well-documented energy resonance effect. We investigate here detailed phase space structural changes as the normalized energy of the system is varied, including the "sticky orbit" boundary regions between regular orbits and chaotic orbits, as well as the boundary between short-lived transient orbits and chaotic orbits. Preliminary results indicate that isolating subclasses of orbits may be useful in understanding the global nonlinear dynamics of this system.
