A legal challenge to Sable’s ongoing Santa Ynez Unit production has been transferred from the Santa Barbara courtroom of Judge Donna Geck (pictued) to a Federal courtroom in northern California.
Judge Geck had refused to lift her preliminary injunction on SYU operations, and appeared to be set to find Sable in contempt at a hearing that was scheduled for this Friday (5/22).
Attorneys for a coalition of Santa Barbara environmental organizations have filed legal papers demanding that the case be returned to Judge Geck.
