SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 25 – Riverkeeper sued the
EPA for not protecting
endangered species in
connection with its response
to the COVID-19
pandemic.
On January
25, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Jed S. Rakoff held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Rakoff
grilled Riverkeeper's lawyer
about a report being hearsay;
he listened to the argument on
standing, that it was not
based on spending money on
litigation but the
longstanding "Havens"
factors.
At the end -
reference was made another
proceeding, not on the PACER
Calendar Events - Judge Rakoff
said it is interesting case so
it will take time to rule.
He
specified the end of February,
saying he'll aim to do it
sooner but cannot promise.
The case is JSR
Riverkeeper, Inc. et al v. US
EPA, et al., 20-cv-6572
(Rakoff)
