Judge In Moratorium Case Sold Exxon Stock This Week By TENNILLE TRACY Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES WASHINGTON -- Legal documents released Friday by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts reveal that U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman sold his holdings in Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) on June 22, the same day he blocked the Obama administration's drilling moratorium. Exxon Mobil is among the companies that are legally responsible for wells in which drilling was suspended under the administrations' moratorium, according to documents provided by Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat who sits on the Senate's energy and natural resources committee. Feldman says in a June 23 letter to the administrative office that he sold his shares at the opening of the stock market on June 22, "prior to the opening of a Court hearing on the Spill Moratorium" case. The judge bought less than $15,000 of Exxon stock in December 2009, according to the documents.
