THE SAVE THE PEAKS COALITION No.10-17896

      WALLACE, Circuit Judge, dissenting:

      I respectfully dissent. I would impose sanctions on Shanµer for 'grossly

abus[ing] the judicial process by strategically holding bacµ claims that could have, and

should have, been asserted in the first lawsuit (and would have been decided earlier but

for counsel's procedural errors in raising those claims).' Save the Peaµs Coal. v. U.S.

Forest Serv., 669 F.3d 1025, 1028 (9th Cir. 2012).
