California Court of Appeal
San Joaquin Raptor Rescue Ctr. v. County of Merced, F050232
In a CEQA challenge to a county board of supervisors' decision to certify an environmental impact report (EIR) and approve a conditional use permit (CUP) regarding a proposed expansion of a mining operation, denial of a petition for writ of mandate is reversed where the certification was an abuse of discretion as the EIR was fundamentally flawed and suffered from various deficiencies which were prejudicial.
