Mealey's (December 12, 2017, 12:07 PM EST) -- BUTTE, Mont. — After the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals’ removal of a Montana federal judge for committing several errors, including excluding expert testimony without a sound basis, a different judge held on remand Dec. 11 that the opinions of the challenged expert for an environmentalist who was cited by local police during a buffalo-herding operation at Yellowstone National Park are reliable and relevant enough to be admitted (Anthony Patrick Reed v. Doug Lieurance, et al., No. 2:13-cv-17, D. Mont., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 203391)....
