Doheny Decision Triggered by Federal Action
The Doheny case centers on a 1921 executive order transferring discretionary authority from the Navy and Interior to settle claims in the El Cajon/Hawaii leases. Merrick ordered a settlement involving Elk Hills and Hawaii storage work, with a chancery to finalize. Judge Wellborn said the Ne Jersey details omitted from public view and Denby was passive in negotiations. The trial opened in Los Angeles October 24 and will proceed.
