Shell Gulf of Mexico Inc. v. Center for Biological Diversity, Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit November 12, 2014

Shell Gulf of Mexico Inc. v. Center for Biological Diversity, Inc., 585 F. App'x 636 (9th Cir. 2014)

Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

Defendants-appellants appeal the district court’s order denying their motion to dismiss this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because plaintiffs-appellants voluntarily dismissed this case, and the legal issues presented by this appeal are addressed in a related matter, Shell Gulf of Mexico, Inc. v. Center for Biological Diversity, No. 13-35835 (9th Cir., filed September 10, 2013), we dismiss this appeal as moot. See W. Coast Seafood Processors Ass’n v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 643 F.3d 701, 705 (9th Cir. 2011) (declining to apply the “capable of repetition, yet evading review” doctrine where the issue does not “evade review”).

DISMISSED AS MOOT.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
