9th Cir.
11-35269
The court of appeals affirmed a district court judgment and adopted the lower courts opinion as its own. The court held that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service did not violate the Endangered Species Act when it prepared a Biological Opinion finding that the new Idaho Roadless Rule was not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species. The court held further that plaintiffs who used and enjoyed numerous National Forest roadless areas in Idaho had standing to seek injunctive relief challenging Idaho Roadless Rule.
