The Supreme Court vacated the Court of Appeals' modification of a preliminary injunction and reinstated the District Court's injunction, which had restrained the Secretary of the Interior from proceeding with an oil lease sale in the Arctic that environmental groups challenged on statutory grounds. The Court's action preserved the lower court's preliminary relief pending further proceedings on the merits of the case.
