A coalition of states can't challenge the Clean Water Rule in two federal courts at the same time especially since the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said it has jurisdiction to review the myriad lawsuits over the regulation, the Justice Department told the Eleventh Circuit (Georgia v. McCarthy, 11th Cir., 15-14035, 5/31/16). "They cannot do this," the government's brief, filed May 31 on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who jointly promulgated the rule, said. The DOJ brief urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to dismiss the proceedings on jurisdic-tional grounds alone. The government agreed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia that it lacked jurisdiction to block the rule (46 ER 2574, 8/28/15)(80 ERC W-3, (9/11/15)).
