NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 3:12-CV-00096-RRB MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Alaska
Ralph R. Beistline, Chief District Judge, Presiding
Argued and Submitted August 13, 2014 Anchorage, Alaska Before: FARRIS, D.W. NELSON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Defendants-appellants appeal the district court's order denying their motion to dismiss this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because plaintiffs-appellants voluntarily dismissed this case, and the legal issues presented by this appeal are addressed in a related matter, Shell Gulf of Mexico, Inc. v. Center for Biological Diversity, No. 13-35835 (9th Cir., filed September 10, 2013), we dismiss this appeal as moot. See W. Coast Seafood Processors Ass'n v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 643 F.3d 701, 705 (9th Cir. 2011) (declining to apply the "capable of repetition, yet evading review" doctrine where the issue does not "evade review").
DISMISSED AS MOOT.
