Farmers Union Central Exchange, Inc. v. Lee Thomas, Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

Decided August 4, 1989No. 88-3609PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

GOODWIN, Chief Judge:

This case arises out of the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory control over the lead content of gasoline. EPA appeals a memorandum opinion and order in which the district court exercised jurisdiction under the citizen suit provision of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7604 (1982), and granted a permanent injunction by summary judgment in favor of Farmers Union Central Exchange (“CENEX”). We vacate the injunction because we find the district court lacked jurisdiction over this matter.
