(Reuters) - The state of Utah filed a lawsuit on Tuesday in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging federal control over more than a third of the land within its borders, saying U.S. government policies are restricting access to those lands for recreation and energy and infrastructure development.

The move is the latest by a Republican-led state to push back against federal land management policies put in place by the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden.
