CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY v. U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE; MARTHA WILLIAMS, in her official capacity as Principal Deputy Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and DEB HAALAND, in her official capacity as Secretary of the U.S. Dept.

The Center for Biological Diversity sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Act for failing to protect two populations of imperiled speckled dace. CBD argues that FWS failed to make required decisions on protection of populations of the protected fish, which is nearing extinction in the wild.
