By gosh, you're right, the lawsuit is proceeding!

"Cascadia Wildlands, Center for Biological Diversity, and Oregon Wild challenged the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission A state law soon followed, underscoring the delisting. State Fish and Wildlife then sought to deem the conservation groups’ legal challenge as moot and an appellate commissioner dismissed it. But a July court ruling reinstated the groups’ challenge, calling the issues presented for review “complex matters of public importance.”

Can you tell me how come it takes three c-3 conservation group's attorneys to press this? What, I wonder, are their combined hourly legal rates? What might the total eventual settlement fees be? Could it be, as in the recent Elliott State Forest sale, that these agencies are trying to duck exhaustive legal fees by legislating the de-listing?

Will these seemingly redundant lawsuits result in a true victory, the re-listing of wolves?

I hope so.
