   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2123
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Beam and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Environmental law. The district court did not err in granting 
   a preliminary injunction to plaintiffs prohibiting defendant, the sponsor 
   of a Red River diversion project,from continuing construction of a ring 
   levee around the communities of Oxbow, Hickson and Bakke, North Dakota; 
   the district court did not err in determining the ring levee was a 
   component of a larger diversion project the planning and approval of which 
   had not been completed; the court did not err in determining the dormant 
   Commerce Clause did not prevent application of the Minnesota Environmental 
   Protection Act as a portion of the larger project will take place inside 
   Minnesota's borders; the district court did not abuse its discretion in 
   waiving the requirement of a bond based on its characterization of the 
   suit as public interest environmental litigation.
