Findings and recommendation issued.
A federal magistrate judge in the District of Oregon recommended that a citizen suit challenging the Recovery Plan for the Coterminous United States Population of Bull Trout be dismissed. The magistrate judge agreed with the federal defendants that the challenged aspects of the plan, including the alleged failure to address the effects of climate change on cold water habitat, were discretionary and therefore not subject to challenge under the Endangered Species Act’s citizen suit provision.
