<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Oregon Pipeline Company, LLC (OPC) petitioned for review of two decisions of the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) that related to OPC's application for land-use approvals from
Clatsop County for a 41–mile segment of a natural gas pipeline. In November 2010, the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners approved the application, and parties that opposed the application appealed that decision to LUBA. Before the county provided the record
to LUBA, the board, with three newly elected commissioners, voted to withdraw its approval and reconsider its decision. OPC challenged the board's withdrawal through a mandamus action in the circuit court. The circuit court dismissed the mandamus action, and
the court affirmed that dismissal on appeal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
