HONOLULU (AP) - Opponents of a giant telescope planned for Hawaii’s tallest mountain want more time before asking the state Supreme Court to reconsider a recent ruling upholding the project’s construction permit.
They filed a motion Thursday saying they can’t make a decision about whether to seek reconsideration until the dissenting judge issues his opinion.
On Oct. 30, the court ruled 4-1 that the state land board was correct in approving a permit to build Thirty Meter Telescope on a mountain Hawaiians consider sacred.

Associate Justice Michael Wilson dissented but didn’t immediately release his opinion.
Attorney General Russell Suzuki said a motion for reconsideration must be filed within 10 days of the ruling.
The opponents say they need to be able to review the full decision, which includes Wilson’s dissenting opinion.
