Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana grants preliminary injunction on Lease Sale 261 .
The lease sale spanning millions of acres across the Gulf of Mexico is slated for next week .
As a result of a July settlement with environmental groups, the government removed about six million acres from the sale.
The groups pursued the lawsuit after the NMFS coordinated a multiagency consultation studying the effects all federally regulated oil and gas activities would have on species like the Rice 's whale listed under the Endangered Species Act in the Gulf of Mexico over the next 50 years .
The groups argued in the original complaint that the biological opinion resulting from its biological opinion was not based on the best science.
