A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by cattle rancher Cliven Bundy seeking to have the 59 million acres of federal land within Nevada’s borders declared state property, calling the legal argument “simply delusional.”
Nevada Circuit Court Judge Jim Crockett ruled that the federal-versus-state lands issue had been decided in three previous cases involving Mr. Bundy, who has feuded with the federal government over his grazing allotment for 20 years.
“It is simply delusional to maintain that all public land within the boundaries of Nevada belongs to the state of Nevada,” said Judge Crockett in the April 1 ruling, which was made public Tuesday.
