NAACP and NAACP Mississippi State Conference v. X.AI Corp. and MZX Tech LLC is a Clean Air Act citizen suit challenging gas turbines used to power xAI data-center operations near Memphis.[1]

Claims and procedural history

Plaintiffs allege construction and operation without required permits and pollution controls, affecting surrounding communities. They seek injunctive relief and statutory remedies.[1]

The United States’ June 15 motion asks to intervene and dismiss the citizen suit with prejudice. The filing is a government request, rather than an order granting dismissal.[3]

Judge Brown’s October 19 order allows federal intervention but rejects unilateral dismissal of the NAACP’s claims. It treats the government’s September appeal as premature, denies the district-court stay motion as moot and leaves the separate defense dismissal and preliminary-injunction issues for later disposition.[2]
