United States Second Circuit

In an appeal of certain relief granted in favor of plaintiff-appellee Chevron, in connection with an $8.646 billion judgment obtained against Chevron in Ecuador, by several dozen named plaintiffs from Ecuador's Lago Agrio for environmental damage in connection with 1960s-1990s oil exploration activities in Ecuador by Texaco, whose stock was later acquired by Chevron, the District Court's judgment is affirmed over plaintiff's challenges relating to Article III standing, international comity, judicial estoppel, lack of legal authority for the granting of equitable relief, and/or lack of personal jurisdiction over defendants.
