OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A judge has thrown out a lawsuit challenging a Nebraska law that allowed a Canadian oil company to obtain the Nebraska governor’s approval for its Keystone XL pipeline route through the state.

Holt County District Judge Mark Kozisek tossed the lawsuit on Friday, agreeing with TransCanada’s argument that the issue was rendered moot by the company’s decision to abandon plans to move forward on the project.

That means the law will remain on Nebraska’s books, for now.

The landowners who filed the suit had urged the judge to allow them to proceed, suggesting that TransCanada or another company could try to use the law to get a governor’s approval for another pipeline at some point in the future.
