 The Justice Department has moved to dismiss a lawsuit challenging an Obama administration decision against renewing mineral rights leases for the proposed twin metals copper nickel mine in northeastern Minnesota. In a motion late Monday, the Justice Department says that federal district court in Minnesota lacks jurisdiction to hear the case and that it must be brought in the federal court of claims instead. An environmental group involved in the case, northeastern Minnesotans for wilderness make some similar arguments in its own motion to dismiss.
