Cascadia Wildlands v. Jim Thrailkill

OPINION

RAWLINSON, Circuit Judge:

This case arises from a dispute over scientific methodology. Cascadia Wild-lands and other environmental groups (Cascadia) appeal from the district court’s denial of their motion seeking to enjoin the Douglas Fire Complex Recovery Project (Recovery Project) in the southern Oregon Klamath Mountains. Cascadia specifically challenges the biological opinion issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service). Because Cascadia has not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits, we affirm the district court’s denial of a preliminary injunction.
