A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil over a 2013 oil spill in Mayflower, finding that he was wrong in granting class-action status and that right-of-way land contracts didn't require the oil giant to maintain its Pegasus pipeline. U.S. district judge Brian Miller allowed two residents in August to represent others who owned property subject to an easement for and physically crossed by the pipeline.
