Preservation Society of Charleston v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that transfer was appropriate in part because “it is the citizens of Charleston who will most clearly feel the effects of the [challenged] project”
• noting that “it is the citizens of Charleston who will most clearly feel the effects of the [challenged] project”
• finding that when “relative congestion is comparable,” judicial economy factor not substantial enough to warrant transfer
• finding that when “relative congestion . . . appears comparable,” judicial-economy factor not substantial enough to warrant transfer
• concluding that transfer to South Carolina is warranted where the claim has no meaningful nexus with the District of Columbia, the challenged project was located in South Carolina and its effects would be felt there, and the relevant decision makers were located in South Carolina
• noting that \a facial attack on the statutes and regulations at issue ... might have the kind of national impact that would weigh against transfer\ but declining to reach issue because plaintiffs only challenged decision made by local agency office
