Sunrise Wind LLC v. Burgum

The federal government filed a motion requesting that the court stay the cases through April 9. The government said that the stop work order had been issued “to facilitate review of any potential mitigation measures to address then-new information from the Department of War that implicates national security concerns,” that the stop work order would expire on March 22, and that the end of the review “may result in a further decision from BOEM.” The government argued that despite uncertainty regarding the timing of future BOEM action, proceeding with litigation would potentially waste the court’s and the parties’ resources.
