United States Ninth Circuit
Shell Offshore Inc. v. Greenpeace, Inc., 15-35392
In an environmental action, the court dismissed an appeal of the district court’s preliminary injunction against Greenpeace, meant to protect plaintiff oil companies from specified direct-action protests designed to impede oil exploration in the Chukchi Sea, where the appeal is moot because the preliminary injunction has expired and the district court’s civil contempt order is coercive in nature.
