Rhode Island v. U.S. Department of the Interior

After the federal district court for the District of Columbia granted a motion for preliminary injunction lifting the Stop Work Order in a case brought by the project’s developer, the federal defendants asked the Rhode Island court to hold the preliminary injunction motion in the states’ case in abeyance.

Green Oceans, a nonprofit organization that is a plaintiff in <a href="https://www.climatecasechart.com/collections/green-oceans-v-u-s-department-of-the-interior_d5e99b">litigation</a> challenging federal approval of Revolution Wind, moved to intervene as a defendant.

The federal defendants asked the court to transfer the states’ case to the District of Columbia, where a lawsuit brought by the project developer was pending.
