Noting President Joe Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline on Jan. 20, his first day in office, each party in a lawsuit by two Indian tribes purporting that the pipeline would cause environmental harm told the District of Montana that they agreed to dismiss the case without prejudice, ending the lawsuit.
The Rosebud Sioux Tribe and Fort Belknap Indian Community filed the stipulation of dismissal along with defendants, including Biden and various government departments, and intervenors in favor of the defendants, TC Energy Corp. and TransCanada Keystone Pipeline L.P.
“In the interest of conserving the Parties’ and Court’s resources,” the parties said they were dismissing the lawsuit and each paying their own costs and attorneys’ fees. The stipulation explained that canceling the permit for the pipeline made the case moot.
