FILE - In this Monday, May 6, 2013, file photo, Vera Scroggins stands in front of a gas compressor station in Liberty Township in northwestern Pennsylvania. Scroggins, a high-profile anti-fracking activist who often gives tours of natural gas drilling sites in northeastern Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale region, asked a judge Monday, March 24, 2014, for relief from an order barring her from stepping foot on more than 300 square miles of land owned or leased by one of the state's leading natural gas drillers. Scroggins said the injunction, in place since October, has effectively prevented her from traveling to her favorite grocery store, eye doctor, hospital, restaurants, businesses and friends' homes because all of them have leased land to Cabot Oil & Gas Corp.
