A Florida federal court on Monday dismissed the Sierra Club‘s amended complaint in a suit over the St. Johns River Water Management District‘s release of conservation easements in a Central Florida mitigation bank, finding it fails to state an adequate claim and is too vague.
“We view the lawsuit by the Sierra Club as being an improper collateral attack on a number of approvals obtained by the property owner over the last several years. This ruling of the court is consistent with our view,” Miami Corp. counsel Brian A. Bolves of Manson Bolves PA told Law360, adding that he expects a second amendment will be filed but ultimately dismissed because the case is based on a flawed premise.
