Federal judge won’t stop Stanislaus forest logging project
A federal judge on Monday denied a conservation group’s request to temporarily halt a logging project taking place near the site of the 2013 Rim Fire in and around the Stanislaus National Forest, finding that plaintiffs failed to show serious questions going to the merits on any of their claims. The case, which was originally filed in the Northern District of California, has also been transferred to the Eastern District of California.
A U.S. judge declined to temporarily halt a logging project in the Stanislaus Forest in the aftermath of the Rim Fire.
Last month, conservation groups which included Earth Island Institute, Greenpeace Inc., Sequoia ForestKeeper and climate scientist James Hansen filed a lawsuit claiming recovery and reforestation efforts utilized outdated environmental impact statements, which violated the National Environmental Policy Act.
