It’s taken this judge way too long to dismiss those claims alleging State law violations, remember, this incident occurred in the deep water Gulf Of Mexico (maritime), clearly outside of State law jurisdiction and it’s going to be stretch for the court to not dismiss other cases alleging federal law violations including but not limited to the Clean Air Act. While BP didn’t comment on this ruling, there’s no need for them to do so as it is favorable but in the event they do, they will appeal via the 5th Circuit.
