United States Fourth Circuit

In an action brought by an environmental group against various parties under federal law to stop what it fears will be significant degradation to 485 acres of freshwater wetlands and its conversion to saltwater wetlands, the district court's rulings in favor of defendants is affirmed where: 1) the entire action is moot; and 2) the motion to amend the First Amended complaint was properly denied as futile because the proposed amendment would not alter the nature of the case.
