Moss denies the Bureau of Land Management and State of Utah's motions for partial dismissal and partially grants their motions for summary judgment in the animal activist group's action challenging their management plans for wild horse populations, and partially grants the activist group's motion for summary judgment. The four ten-year plans the group challenges are set aside insofar as they purport to authorize new gathers of wild horses after achieving "appropriate management levels," but the group's challenge to a specific 2021 gather in the Onaqui Mountain Herd Management Area is moot, its challenge of the ten-year gather plans themselves under the National Environmental Policy Act fails because the Bureau sufficiently analyzed them under NEPA, and its claim that the Bureau departed from prior policy without an explanation does not identify a specific requirement that the bureau has failed to meet. All these are therefore dismissed.
