Marina Point Development Co. v. Center for Biological Diversity
Petition for certiorari denied on March 26, 2012
Issue: Whether courts can properly award attorney"s fees and costs under fee-shifting statutes that limit such awards to "appropriate" circumstances when, as here, the matter becomes moot on appeal, the judgment of this district court is vacated and undone, and the plaintiff ultimately accomplishes nothing?
