ANIMAL LEGAL DEFENSE FUND v. DAVID BERNHARDT; US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE; WILBUR ROSS; and NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE

File
Description

A federal judge in California has dismissed two (1, 2) lawsuits filed by environmental and animal protection groups challenging the federal government’s recent rollbacks of the Endangered Species Act, saying that the groups failed to establish standing. A similar lawsuit brought by a coalition of states, however, survived.
