Plaintiffs Lose Motion To Join EPA’s Class Action Suit Against New-Indy According to a report in the Carolina Gateway , New-Indy Containerboard had a victory in court recently as a district court judge ruled against the same plaintiffs, who are al- ready suing the paper mill, from getting involved in anoth- er case against the mill. U.S. District Court Judge Sherri Lydon issued an order on September 15 that the 14 primary plaintiffs in the case of White v. New-Indy Catawba, LLC, and Kennedy v. New-In- dy Catawba, LLC, which have been consolidated into one case, cannot intervene in the USA v. New-Indy Cataw- ba, LLC, case. Judge Lydon ruled that the plaintiffs’ case against the EPA’s inadequate representation was specula- tive, according to the news report. The interim co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs released a statement on the judge’s ruling: “We sought to intervene in this case on behalf of local residents because we believe the EPA has failed this community by allowing New-Indy to egregiously contaminate the local environment and ignore state and federal regulations. This ruling in no way affects the ongoing class-action litigation against New-Indy, and we will continue to pursue every legal avenue available to fix this problem, end the pollution, and hold New-Indy accountable for this environmental disaster.” Visit newindycontainerboard.com for more details.
