Markle Interests, LLC v. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Serv.

摘要

Companies had standing to bring claims alleging U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service violated Endangered Species Act, exceeded its authority under commerce clause of U.S. Constitution and violated National Environmental Policy Act in designating critical habitat for frog species, because: (1) even though alleged injury from potential future regulatory burden from designation is too speculative to establish actual or imminent injury, alleged lost property value is concrete and particularized injury in fact, and (2) decreased property value is fairly traceable to habitat designation and would likely be redressed by favorable court decision.
