Rich May, a Professional Corporation

Rich May client Texas Eastern Transmission, LP resumes construction of pipeline after Stop Work Order
Rich May’s client, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, a subsidiary of Spectra Energy Corp and a major interstate natural gas company, successfully thwarted an effort by Tyrone Township, Pennsylvania to interfere with the construction of natural gas pipeline project. On Thursday, August 2, 2007, the Township’s Building Code Officer issued a Stop Work Order ordering Texas Eastern to immediately cease construction of a compressor station that was essential to the project. In light of Rich May’s long experience and expertise in land use and preemption cases for interstate natural gas companies, Texas Eastern requested that Rich May handle that dispute. On Monday, August 6, Texas Eastern filed an action against the Building Code Officer, the Township’s Board of Supervisors and the Township in the federal district court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Texas Eastern requested that the Court issue a temporary restraining order requiring the Township to immediately rescind the Stop Work Order. Texas Eastern also sought damages from the Township for interfering with Texas Eastern’s rights secured by federal law. Faced with a hearing the next morning on the TRO request, the Township agreed that afternoon to withdraw the Stop Work Order and construction of the compressor station resumed the next day. Texas Eastern then withdrew its motion for injunctive relief, but the case remains pending. James T. Finnigan represents Texas Eastern in that matter.

Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur, L.L.P.

Alumnus Contributes to Book on Global Climate Change and U.S. Law
The law will play an important part in developing mechanisms to protect the earth in the face of global warming. Michael E. Heintz, JD'03, contributed to the recently released Global Climate Change and U.S. Law, a book that outlines the international and national legal framework of climate change regulation and associated litigation.

The tome includes a 50-state survey and covers issues of concern to corporations, including disclosure, fiduciary duties, insurance, and subsidies. Part IV examines the legal aspects of efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, such as voluntary efforts, emissions trading, and carbon sequestration.

Former Indiana Law professor Richard Lazarus, now of Georgetown, called the work "spectacular." "Wholly accessible to those not themselves expert in environmental law, any lawyer or policymaker seriously interested in the global climate change should have a copy," he said.
