Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Oregon Natural Desert Association and Center for Biological Diversity (together, "ONDA") appeal the district court's dismissal of their action challenging the United States Forest Service's management of livestock grazing on national forest lands in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. The district court dismissed ONDA's action on the ground that it lacked jurisdiction to review ONDA's claims under Section 10(e) of the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA"), 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), because the challenged Annual Operating Instructions ("AOIs") did not constitute a final agency action within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 704. We review de novo the district court's determination that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Hambleton Bros. Lumber Co. v. Balkin Enters., Inc., 397 F.3d 1217, 1226 (9th Cir.2005), and we reverse.
Concurrent with the filing of this memorandum, we filed an opinion in Oregon Natural Desert Association v. United States Forest Service ("ONDA"), 465 F.3d 977 (9th Cir.2006), which disposes of the jurisdictional argument at issue in this appeal. In ONDA, we held that the Forest Service's issuance of AOIs to grazing permit holders constituted final agency action under § 704 and therefore that ONDA's action was ripe for judicial review. Accordingly, in the present case, the district court erred in dismissing ONDA's § 706(2)(A) claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
