Iowa DNR Motion to Stay Denied; Brakke's Win!
On February 13, 2015, the Iowa District Court of Polk County announced their Ruling on Petition for Judicial Review. The Ruling reversed the prior agency action, thereby invalidating an Emergency Order served to Tom & Rhonde Brakke by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The emergency order required the Brakke’s to maintain the perimeter fence on their property until December 28, 2017.
The Iowa DNR subsequently filed a Motion to Stay, among others, all of which have now been denied by the court.
This marks a long-awaited victory for the Brakke family and the cervid industry.
