A Sinclair refinery can seek attorneysâ fees from Swiss insurer Infrassure under Wyoming law even though the policy was not issued in Wyoming or physically delivered in the state, the Wyoming Supreme Court held Monday in answer to a certified question from the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
In its first interpretation of a fee-award statute that applies only to insurance policies âdeliveredâ or âissued for delivery inâ Wyoming, the high court found the law âclearly and unambiguously provides that an insurance contract is issued for delivery in Wyoming if the policy issued is intended to protect an insured in Wyoming against risks in Wyoming.â
LINCOLN, Neb. (DTN) EPA asked a federal court Friday to vacate three small-refinery exemptions (SRE) the outgoing Trump administration granted on Jan. 19, just days before the Biden administration was to take office.
In a motion filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Denver, the agency said it did not follow proper procedure when on Jan. 19 it granted the exemptions to Sinclair Wyoming Refining Company and Sinclair Casper Refining Company from their 2018 and 2019 obligations in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
In particular, the agency said its action, https://www.dtnpf.com/…, did not take into account case law established by the 10th Circuit in January 2020. The court ruled the EPA illegally granted exemptions to three refiners in 2017 and 2018 although they did not qualify.
Former Grand Teton Park superintendent dies from COVID
JACKSON (WNE) â A onetime Grand Teton National Park superintendent who rose to the top of the National Park Service has died after contracting COVID-19.
Gary Everhardt, 86, led Teton Park from 1972 to 1975, departing to become the ninth director of the National Park Service under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Both Gary and his wife, Nancy, succumbed to complications from the novel coronavirus during the past week in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area, according to longtime friend and fellow Park Service retiree Phil Francis.
âThey both had COVID, and it was contracted through an assisted care facility,â Francis told the Jackson Hole Daily on Monday. âShe died Wednesday night, and Gary died last night.â
