California Appellate Court Said Challenge to Earlier Analysis of UC Berkeley Increased Enrollment Was Moot

Trial court’s judgment granting writ petition vacated and matter remanded to the trial court to enter an order dismissing the petition.

The California Court of Appeal held that challenges to the analysis of the environmental impacts of increased enrollment at the University of California, Berkeley, were moot because the Regents of the University of California had certified a new environmental impact report (EIR) and California had enacted legislation that restricted California Environmental Quality Act reviews of the impacts of increased enrollment. The new EIR’s analysis of the impacts of increased enrollment focused on seven categories, one of which was greenhouse gas emissions.
