Ninth Circuit Halts Development at Lake Tahoe

September 10, 1985

On behalf of the League to Save Lake Tahoe, the firm, together with the state Attorney General’s office, obtains a federal court injunction, affirmed by the Ninth Circuit, prohibiting the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) from issuing development permits. As a result, TRPA enters a public process to prepare a new regional plan protecting Lake Tahoe. (People of State of Calif. v. TRPA, 766 F.2d 1319 (9th Cir. 1985).)
