(Bismarck, ND) — The Dakota Access Pipeline developer is asking the North Dakota Supreme Court to weigh in on the Greenpeace case. Greenpeace International filed a case in February in response to Energy Transfer’s lawsuit accusing it of engaging in conspiracy and defamation to stop the pipeline from being built. Energy Transfer asked District Court Judge James Gion to suspend the overseas lawsuit until the North Dakota case plays out, a request he rejected in September. Now Energy Transfer wants the North Dakota Supreme Court to step in and order Judge Gion to pause the lawsuit. The high court is set to hear arguments on the appeal December 18th.
