Unopposed motion to voluntarily dismiss appeal granted.
On February 1, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted Secretary of the Interior Debra Haaland and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s motion for voluntary dismissal of their appeal of a district court decision that vacated the FWS’s 2019 determination that listing the Joshua tree as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act was not warranted. In September 2021, the district court found that the FWS failed to consider certain information regarding climate change’s impacts on Joshua trees.
