The fight between the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline and Greenpeace took another recent step when Energy Transfer asked a North Dakota judge to stop the environmental group from counter-suing it in the Netherlands.

Energy Transfer argues Greenpeace is trying to undermine a March jury verdict that ordered the environmental group to pay the company more than $660 million, finding it responsible for defamation and inciting illegal behavior by anti-pipeline protesters reported the North Dakota Monitor.

The Texas-based energy group won its lawsuit several months ago after suing Greenpeace and its entities for supporting the protests started by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in 2016.
