Cowiche Canyon Conservancy v. Bosley
Is it still good law? What later courts have actually done to this case.
Status
More on how this was screened
Later opinions repeatedly apply its rule that courts may decline to consider unsupported arguments and issues first raised in a reply brief. Several apparent overruling references report Cowiche's earlier treatment of Ritchie v. Markley, rather than any later court's treatment of Cowiche. The full State v. Heater opinion was retrieved separately after the initial text retrieval missed it; that opinion also applies Cowiche's briefing rule.
60 later cases cite Cowiche Canyon Conservancy v. Bosley; 60 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
