An аttоrney represented аn envirоnmentаl grоup that opposed a planned residential development on property next to a state park. The environmental group asserted, among other things, that the development would endanger a particular species of bird. On a Friday morning, the attorney learned that the developer planned to remove all the trees on the property that weekend. The attorney immediately filed a petition for an emergency hearing seeking a temporary restraining order prohibiting the removal of the trees. The attorney was unable to give notice to the developer. At the hearing that afternoon, no one representing the developer appeared, and the attorney asked for a temporary restraining order prohibiting the removal of the trees. The attorney argued that removal of the trees would endanger the birds that inhabited the trees, and she had a good-faith basis for making this argument. The attorney cited various authorities that supported her request but did not disclose to the court that the expert for the state wildlife department had issued a report opining that the removal of the trees would not in fact endanger that particular species of bird.
