On Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana, Helena Division
_______________________________
BRIEF AMICUS CURIAE OF CHANTELL AND MICHAEL SACKETT, JOHN DUARTE, AND DUARTE NURSERY, INC. IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT-APPELLANT
“The federal government does not have the power to regulate the use of every drop of water in the nation, but at times the federal government acts like it has that authority. That is what happened in Mr. Robertson’s case, as well as the Sackett and Duarte cases. Since the Sackett and Duarte cases are pending in district courts within the Ninth Circuit’s jurisdiction, the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Robertson may control the outcome in their cases. For this reason, we filed our amicus brief. We look forward to Mr. Robertson’s exoneration on the Clean Water Act conviction, which should also finally bring the Sackett and Duarte cases to a close, as well.”
