Same Judge that slashed the award amount. https://northdakotamonitor.com/2025/10/29/judge-slashes-jury-damages-in-greenpeace-case-to-345-million/

This Judge was appointed by former Republican Governor Jack Dalrymple who was very frustrated with the protest. See: https://northdakotamonitor.com/2024/02/23/former-governor-frustrated-with-federal-bureaucracy-during-dapl-protests/

Not saying any relationship.
