Chevron Suit Put on Hold: A lawsuit by Chevron Corp. and its partners against Santa Barbara County was put on hold in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles until a state court has a chance to decide on some of the issues involved, Chevron spokesman G. Michael Marcy said. U.S. District Judge Consuelo Marshall made the decision to withhold judgment on the suit challenging Santa Barbara County’s decision to deny Chevron a permit to transport oil by tanker from the offshore Point Arguello project. The suit seeks $100,000 a day in damages, an injunction against the county and a permit. Marcy said Chevron would file a complaint in Santa Barbara Superior Court within 10 days.
