In re: COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF BOULDER COUNTY and City of Boulder, Plaintiffs, v. SUNCOR ENERGY USA, INC.; Suncor Energy Sales, Inc.; Suncor Energy Inc.; and Exxon Mobil Corporation, Defendants.
Original Proceeding, District Court, Boulder County, 2018CV30349
En Banc
ORDER AND RULE TO SHOW CAUSE
Upon consideration of the Petition for Order to Show Cause Pursuant to C.A.R. 21, filed in the above-captioned matter, and being sufficiently advised in the premises,
IT IS ORDERED that an Order to Show Cause issue out of this court. Therefore, the Board of County Commissioners of Boulder County, the City of Boulder, and the district court are directed to answer in writing on or before August 26, 2024, why the relief requested in the second issue raised in the petition should not be granted. The second issue raised in the petition is as follows: Whether the district court erroneously concluded that respondents’ claims could proceed under state law. To the extent the petition seeks an order to show cause with respect to the first issue (whether the district court wrongly concluded that specific personal jurisdiction existed), it is denied.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that ExxonMobil Corporation shall have 14 days from receipt of the answer brief within which to reply.
Pursuant to C.A.R. 21(f)(2), all further proceedings are stayed until further order of this court.
