HSRA seeks federal protection from lawsuits
08/09/13 Filed in: High-Speed
Rail
The California
High-Speed Rail Authority filed a brief today asking
the State Court of Appeal to dismiss the
Atherton
petitioners’ appeal on
the grounds that the federal Surface Transportation
Board had asserted federal jurisdiction over its
project.
This brief involved a massive amount of gall, seeing as the High-Speed Rail Authority had not applied to the STB for permission to construct its project until very recently, long after all the briefing in this case had been filed. All materials related to the appeal are available here.
