United States Sixth Circuit
Leisure Caviar, LLC v. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Serv., 09-6228
In plaintiff's suit against the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and two of its employees in their official capacities, claiming that the agency failed to act on a timely basis on five permit applications for permission to export 4074.05 pounds of roe worth approximately $500,000, district court's denial of plaintiffs' Rule 59 motion to alter the order dismissing their suit is affirmed as a claimant who seeks to amend a complaint after losing the case must provide a compelling explanation to the district court for granting the motion, and here, the district court did not exceed its discretion in concluding that plaintiffs provided nothing of the sort.
