There won't be any need for a District Court approval -- let alone a regional circuit one -- as it won't get that far. I don't expect any appeal to be granted as BLM will have followed the NEPA legislation to the letter. The role of the appellate court is to determine whether or not the law was applied correctly in the trial court. And it will be. No appeals are likely and certainly none will be granted and AZL gets on with the drilling. You like to flash around your basic legal understanding in the same way a mandrill flashes its gaily-coloured backside to a prospective mate. But it's mostly just bluff and bluster.
