Opinion
MORRISON, J.
The trial court sustained a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) challenge. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.; further section references are to this code). The dispute in this case is about where to begin. Real parties in interest focus on defenses of statute of limitations and exhaustion of remedies. Plaintiffs defend the trial court’s focus on “tiering” and conclude the challenge lodged in this case was proper because there had been no prior opportunity to challenge this “tier” of the project. We shall modify the judgment and affirm.
