How courts have described this case

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

• Service erred by soliciting information from states and other agencies when making 90-day review
• “The FWS simply cannot bypass the initial 90-day review and proceed to what is effectively a 12-month status review, but without the required notice and the opportunity for public comment.”
• “Congress did not limit district courts’ authority to provide equitable relief under the ESA, and indeed, specifically reserved their traditional authority to fashion appropriate equitable relief.” (internal citations and quotation marks omitted)
• “There is a strong presumption in favor of upholding decision of the FWS in view of its expertise in the area of wildlife conservation and management and the deferential standard of review.”
