Decision
Order issued vacating preliminary injunction.
The New Mexico Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board to proceed with a rulemaking for greenhouse gas regulations. The court vacated a preliminary injunction issued in April 2010 by a lower court, holding that the injunction would harm the agency’s ability to do its job. The court remanded the case to the Board so it could resume public hearings on the proposed regulations.
