Case summary: The District Court granted in part and denied in part plaintiffs' claims against the United States Forest Services' decisions to approve land exchanges near the Grand Canyon. Plaintiffs' claims allege violations of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the Federal Land Policy and Exchange Management Act (FLPMA). The court dismissed plaintiff's claims in violation of FLPMA as unripe because the Forest Service's decision to exchange land is dependent on title transfer and rezoning, neither of which have occurred or are imminent. The Court granted defendants summary judgment as to violation of NEPA stipulated in counts IV, V, and VII of plaintiffs' complaint and granted plaintiffs summary judgment as to violation of NEPA stipulated in count III of its complaint.
