June 21, 2023 Filing 47 Filed clerk order: The amicus brief [ # 25 ] submitted by Alaska Congressional Delegation is filed. No paper copies are required. [12740604] [23-35322, 23-35324, 23-35354, 23-35323] (LA) [Entered: 06/21/2023 04:51 PM]
June 21, 2023 Filing 46 Filed order (BARRY G. SILVERMAN, RYAN D. NELSON and PATRICK J. BUMATAY): The State of Alaska moves to stay the district courts May 4, 2023 judgment to the extent it vacates the portions of the 2019 Southeast Alaska Biological Opinion (the BiOp) that authorize take of the Southern Resident Killer Whale and Chinook salmon resulting from commercial harvests of Chinook salmon. The Alaska Trollers Association and the federal appellants join that motion. Wild Fish Conservancy moves to enjoin implementation of the portion of the BiOp that pertains to the prey increase program. The motion for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae in support of the States motion to stay (Docket Entry No. [ # 25 ]) is granted. In deciding a motion to stay, we consider four factors: (1) whether the stay applicant has made a strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) whether the applicant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies. Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 434 (2009) (quoting Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987)). The motion to stay in part the district courts May 4, 2023 judgment (Docket Entry No. [ # 12723864-2 ]) is granted. A flawed agency rule does not need to be vacated upon remand and instead may be left in place when equity demands. See Cal. Cmties. Against Toxics v. U.S. E.P.A., 688 F.3d 989, 992 (9th Cir. 2012) (citations omitted). Here, the moving parties have established a sufficient likelihood of demonstrating on appeal that the certain and substantial impacts of the district courts vacatur on the Alaskan salmon fishing industry outweigh the speculative environmental threats posed by remanding without vacatur. See id. (declining to vacate an agency rule in part because doing so would be economically disastrous.). Accordingly, the district courts judgment is stayed to the extent it vacates the portions of the BiOp that authorize take of the Southern Resident Killer Whale and Chinook salmon resulting from commercial harvests of Chinook salmon during the winter and summer seasons of the troll fisheries. The standard for evaluating an injunction pending appeal is similar to that employed by district courts in deciding whether to grant a preliminary injunction. Feldman v. Ariz. Secy of State, 843 F.3d 366, 367 (9th Cir. 2016); see also Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008) (defining standard for preliminary injunction in district court). The motion for injunctive relief (Docket Entry No. [ # 17 ]) is denied. Plaintiff-appellant has not demonstrated that the district court likely abused its discretion in declining to vacate the prey increase program, particularly in light of the district courts finding that the disruptive consequences of vacatur would ultimately put the whales at further risk of extinction and outweigh the seriousness of the agencys errors. See Ctr. for Food Safety v. Regan, 56 F.4th 648, 668 (9th Cir. 2022) (ordering remand without vacatur in part because the challenged rule maintained enhanced protection of the environmental values at issue). The existing briefing schedule remains in effect. [12740086] [23-35322, 23-35324, 23-35354, 23-35323] (AF) [Entered: 06/21/2023 11:38 AM]
