The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit calendared oral argument in this case for September 11, 2017\. A few weeks prior to the scheduled hearing, the Ninth Circuit cancelled oral argument, determining that the Panel could decide the matter on the Briefs. Unfortunately for Chris McIntyre, the [Ninth Circuit decided in favor of BP](https://www.legalexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2017/10/Ninth-Circuit-McIntyre.pdf), and our subsequent [request for rehearing](https://www.legalexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2017/10/Ninth-Circuit-McIntyre-Petition-for-Rehearing.pdf) was [denied](https://www.legalexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2017/10/Ninth-Circuit-McIntyre-Rehearing-Denied.pdf).

Chris is now weighing his appellate options.

**UPDATE: June 4, 2018** – Today the [Supreme Court of the United States denied Chris McIntyre’s Petition for a Writ of Certiorari](https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/17-8442.html&ref=legalexaminer.com). While we are disappointed with the outcome, we respect the Court’s decision.
