Arkansas-based Tyson Foods, Minnesota-based Cargill Inc. and the others say in a motion filed Thursday that evidence in the case is now more than 13 years old.
“This case is constitutionally moot because the Court can no longer grant any effectual relief,” the companies argued in a filing with U.S. District Judge Gregory Frizzell in Tulsa.
What are the odds that the evidence is old because regulators/the companies delayed discovery?

I guess somebody’s bribery check bounced.
love that justice goes so slowly for the wealthy that they get away with crimes because it took too long.

The filing said Oklahoma conservation officials have noted a steady decline in pollution. It credited improved wastewater treatment plants…
Who paid for those treatment plants? The taxpayers, I assume. Shut the fuck up and pay them back.
Frizzell had ordered the poultry companies and the state to reach an agreement on how to remedy the effects of the pollution.
Attorneys for the companies and the state attorney general each said in Thursday filings that mediation had failed.
I don’t see a state attorney general just giving up in this type of situation. So, the companies were so stubborn that they walked out of mediation, thereby violating a court order? And now they want to be rewarded with a dismissal? They can blow me.
I don’t see a state attorney general just giving up in this type of situation.
I see a campaign contribution in his future
That literally doesn’t matter. I like how desperate this makes them look though.
