Scarborough Citizens Protecting Resources v. United States Fish and Wildlife Service

Posted 2018
About This Legal Opinion

The First Circuit held that the Wildlife Restoration Act regulations give the USFWS discretion in how to respond to an alleged conversion of property funded by the Act. The Court also found no NEPA violation because federal officials did not have a duty to review the State's grant of the easements.
