A federal judge has affirmed her previous decision to dismiss the case against Cliven Bundy, his two sons, and Ryan Payne for their 2014 armed standoff with federal agents over cattle grazing rights on federal land.

District Judge Gloria Navarro denied the government’s request to retry the case and instead stood by her Dec. 20 ruling of a mistrial.
