ORDER AND JUDGMENT

_________________________________ 

Before HOLMES, MATHESON, and McHUGH, Circuit Judges. 

_________________________________ 

This matter comes on for consideration of the status report and the “Unopposed 

Motion to Apply Appellate Ruling” filed by Defendants/Appellees Marine Coal Sales 

Company, International Coal Group, LLC and Hunter Ridge Coal Company. Upon 

consideration thereof, the abatement of this appeal as to these defendants/appellees is 

lifted and the motion is granted. The bankruptcy court has lifted the automatic stay to 

allow these parties to seek to have this court’s February 9, 2016 decision made applicable 

to them. It is ordered that the February 9, 2016 Order and Judgment affirming the district 

court judgment applies to Defendants/Appellees Marine Coal Sales Company, 

 

 This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of 

law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its 

persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
