Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence v. Salazar

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that agency’s failure to consider reasonably foreseeable impacts of agency action is sufficient to render the agency’s invocation of a categorical exclusion arbitrary and capricious
• stating that “a procedural violation of NEPA is ... a relevant consideration” for determining irreparable injury.
• noting that an “inquiry into the ‘indicia of membership’ that occupies the [defendant]’s focus is necessary only when an organization is not a ‘traditional membership organization’”
• finding likelihood of irreparable harm given “almost universal view” that agency action “will have some environmental impacts,” even if “extent” of such harm was “not fully known”
• granting intervention of right but prohibiting intervenors from raising new claims or collateral issues
• “The inquiry into indicia of membership ... is necessary only when an organization is not a “traditional membership organization.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
