Defs. of Wildlife v. Jewell

摘要

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was entitled to judgment on claim that it acted arbitrarily or capriciously in withdrawing Endangered Species Act listing proposal for lizard species, because: (1) environmental groups waived their claim that service's interpretation of its own policy for evaluating voluntary conservation efforts violated act, and (2) service's finding that voluntary conservation agreement by Texas was sufficiently certain and will be effective in preserving species was supported by substantial evidence in record.
