Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In an action challenging the Forest Service's failure to close a road through a recreation area to motorized vehicle travel, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) as to their claim that the Forest Service lost a map of the wilderness area, plaintiffs did not suffer a cognizable Article III injury, because the loss of the map was not redressable; 2) the Forest Service's publication of a boundary description started the statute of limitations on plaintiffs' boundary claim, and their claim was thus untimely; and 3) plaintiffs failed to identify "an ongoing failure to act" by defendant, and thus failed to state a claim under section 706(1) of the Administrative Procedure Act.
