Miccosukee Tribe v. United States of America, et al. , 528 F. Supp. 2d 1317 (S.D. Fla. 2007) (Moore Case 2)

In 2007, the Miccosukee Tribe amended an earlier (November 2005) complaint that had challenged the FWS’s 2002 Biological Opinion approving the IOP.  The amended complaint includes additional challenges to a Biological Opinion included in the SEIS that the Corps completed in response to the Moore EIS case.  The court rejects the Miccosukee Tribe’s claims, and the Tribe appeals.
