Sharon Gleason a federal judge for the District of Alaska has upheld a previous decision of hers to not allow pre-development work for oil and gas development in ANWR.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Returning to previous litigation, Sharen Gleason, a federal judge for the District of Alaska has confirmed a previous decision she made regarding oil and gas developments in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge .
On. Feb. 22, Gleason released her 19 page decision on the matter deciding that she would uphold a previous decision to deny oil and gas survey work in ANWR. The decision comes as she was asked to reconsider a previous judgement of the same issue, which at the time was put on hold by the Biden administration.
According to case documents, the plaintiffs including the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority and others, had asked Gleason to allow them to continue pre-development work such as archeological and seismic surveys. Those activities were temporarily suspended by the federal government after lease sales were being reviewed for “alleged legal deficiencies.
Despite the cancellations, the plaintiffs had claimed the halt to the pre-development activities detrimental to necessary processes. Those claims later were called “moot” to the cancellation of the leases. Following up on the matter to amend her original decision, Gleason upheld her original judgement, citing a lack of changes to evidence or “a manifest injustice.”
