U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Luma Energy LLC v. Puerto Rico Dep't of Consumer Affairs

August 13, 2026

Summary

The court dismissed LUMA's appeal because LUMA lacked statutory appellate standing under the stringent "person aggrieved" standard. LUMA could not show that the order allowing the consumer-protection action to proceed directly and adversely affected its pecuniary interests or subjected it to the type of harm the automatic stay is designed to prevent. The court therefore did not reach whether the police-power exception applied to the automatic stay.
