IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

PETITIONERS’ STATEMENT OF ISSUES

Pursuant to the Court’s Order dated August 7, 2018, Bold Alliance and Bold

Educational Fund, hereby set forth the issues to be raised in the petition for review:

1. Whether Mountain Valley’s exercise of eminent domain pursuant to

the Commission’s conditional Certificate Order violates the Natural Gas Act where

Mountain Valley failed to maintain permits that federal law and the Certificate

require, the Certificate imposed conditions, such as holding certain permits, that

were conditions precedent to the determination of public convenience and

necessity, and neither FERC nor the district courts have confirmed Mountain

Valley’s ability to pay for the takings related to the Project.

2. Whether the Commission’s and the judiciary’s refusal to consider

landowners’ statutory and constitutional arguments before the taking of their

property—or to provide a prompt post-deprivation hearing on those

arguments—violates landowners’ procedural due process rights.

Respectfully submitted,
