The State of Wyoming filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in its lawsuit against the Federal de-facto moratorium on oil and gas leasing
In the filing, Wyoming asks the Federal District Court of Wyoming for an injunction that orders the Secretary to hold quarterly oil and gas lease sales in Wyoming while the case is being considered, and orders the Secretary to hold the March and June 2021 Wyoming federal oil and gas lease sales as soon as reasonably possible.
“The current de facto leasing moratorium is bad policy for Wyoming and contrary to law,” Governor Gordon said. “This is a key action to protect the interests of Wyoming and her people.”
A copy of the motion may be found on the Wyoming Attorney General’s website.
