The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Exxon Mobil’s challenge to a verdict requiring the company to pay $105 million for contaminating New York City groundwater with a toxic gasoline additive called methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE.

The high court made no comment in denying Exxon Mobil’s petition for a writ of certiorari. By denying the appeal, the court leaves in place a 2009 judgment entered against it at a jury trial before Southern District Judge Shira Scheindlin (See Profile).
