The Supreme Court turned back a push by the state of Utah to wrest control of vast areas of public land from the federal government.

The high court refused to let the Republican -controlled state file a lawsuit seeking to bring the land and its resources under state control.

Utah argues local control would be more responsive and allow the state access to revenue from taxes and development projects.

Conservationists applaud the court's rejection of what they called a land-grab lawsuit, many remained worried that the efforts will continue.
