USDA files Motion to Dismiss in Wright’s vs. USDA
Monday, July 29, 2024
The United States Department of Agriculture filed a motion to dismiss on July 25, 2024 in the Michael, Casey and Josh Wright vs. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Administrator Michael Watson case.
The USDA argues the Wright’s lack Article III standing and thus the complaint should be dismissed. The USDA also argues several of the Wright’s claims are time-barred by the Administrative Procedures Act’s six-year statute of limitations. The answer by the Wright’s attorneys (Torridon Law Firm) is due within 28 days of the Motion to Dismiss and they will object to the USDA’s positions. The court will then decide next steps in the case.
