U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2613
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Clean Air Act. In an action by environmental groups to impose
emission-control technology on Northern States Power's Sherburne County
power plant, the district court erred in denying Northern States Power's
motion to intervene as the company satisfied all of the elements of
Article III Standing - injury, causation and redressability; further, the
motion met the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a), and Northern States
Power was entitled to intervene as of right.
