U.S. District Judge Irene C. Berger has extended through Friday at 5:30 p.m. her temporary restraining order against the anti-mountaintop removal protests that have targeted Massey Energy operations in Southern West Virginia for more than a year.
Berger extended her TRO and indicated she would rule before it expires on Massey’s request for a longer-term preliminary injunction against the protesters.
The decision was made after a roughly three-hour hearing in U.S. District Court in Beckley. (I did not attend the year, by the way, but checked later in the court records that are online).
