KIDWELL, J.

The petitioners-appellants in this case applied for three separate permits to build docks from their property into Lake Coeur d'Alene. The Idaho Department of Lands (the Department) declined to process the applications, prompting the petitioners to seek a writ of mandate from the district court. The district court denied the writ, holding that the Department had properly acted by not processing the applications. We agree.
