Carson v. Alvord
ELR Citation: ELR 20566 No(s). C79-1937A (N.D. Ga. Mar 20, 1980)
On cross motions for summary judgment in a suit seeking injunctive relief against federal financing of a housing project, the court rules that plaintiffs do not have a cause of action under the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, or the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act. Assuming without deciding that plaintiffs have a cause of action under the Administrative Procedure Act, the court finds that none of the environmental and other findings made by defendants were arbitrary and capricious. Summary judgment is therefore awarded to defendants.
