  The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California denied California's bid to suspend a Defense Production Act order requiring operation of Sable Offshore's Santa Ynez Pipeline, holding the federal order lawfully preempts state efforts to shut it down. The court also shifted pipeline safety oversight under the consent decree from California's Office of the State Fire Marshal to the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
