53. Is this true? (lawsuit filed by the Greens "dismissed"?)
Which lawsuit are you talking about? Was there a court action of dismissal in any relevant lawsuit--or are you just talking about the "temporary restraining order" (TRO) matter (that Greens can't show irreparable harm, to immediately stop the state from doing something)?

Denial of a TRO is not the same thing as a dismissal. TRO has a higher standard of proof because it stops some action--prevents harm to litigants or their case; whereas a dismissal throws the whole lawsuit out of court--dead, fini (unless court permits a re-filing).

Could someone just very briefly give status of the lawsuits? And which of them is Kerry intervening in?
