SACRAMENTO — The Mississippi attorney general will be allowed to resume his investigation into Google Inc.’s third-party content practices, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled Friday.
A three-judge panel vacated the preliminary injunction that U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate of the Southern District of Mississippi issued in March 2015.

Wingate also ordered Hood not to bring any related criminal or civil charges against Google.
