Ninth Circuit Rejects Save the Peaks’ Effort to Stop the Arizona Snowbowl, Labels Effort a “Gross Abuse of the Judicial Process”

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

Here is today’s opinion in Save the Peaks v. United States Forest Service, where the court opens with:

This case represents a gross abuse of the judicial process. Just when Defendants-Appellees United States Forest Service and Joseph P. Stringer (USFS), and Intervenor-Defendant Arizona Snowbowl Resort Limited Partnership (ASRLP) had successfully defended an agency decision to allow snowmaking at a ski resort on federal land all the way to the United States Supreme Court, “new” plaintiffs appeared.

    Traditional powders are not as effective as the new treatments and involve a great deal of trouble in application.
    There are many health dangers that a flea infestation can cause to your pet, putting their
    well being and possibly their life on the line.
    In addition to a flea remedy, you should also consider upgrading your
    cat’s diet and adding supplements.
