(CN) - An environmental lawyer will not have to pick up the tab for an unsuccessful lawsuit to keep fake snow off mountains in Arizona, the 9th Circuit ruled. The decision this week represents a departure from the stance that the federal appeals court took in June, when it referred Howard Shanker to the appellate commission. In its now-revoked order for sanctions, the panel accused Shanker of harassing a Flagstaff ski resort to increase expenses and delay the snowmaking he opposed. Shanker denied the charges and said there was no evidence to support them.
