Board notes federal court dismissed lawsuit against town and individuals
Summary
Board members reported that a federal court dismissed a lawsuit against town officials and individuals with prejudice; the state-level claims were dismissed without prejudice and could be refiled, according to the board's summary.
A board member reported that a federal court has dismissed the federal portion of a lawsuit naming town officials and private individuals, and that the federal dismissal was with prejudice while some state claims were dismissed without prejudice.
The board member said the federal case was dismissed “with prejudice,” meaning those federal claims cannot be refiled. Portions of the state-level complaint were dismissed without prejudice, the member said, which would allow the plaintiff to refile in state court. The board member did not know whether the plaintiff intends to appeal or refile at the state level.
No formal action or vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt; the statement was made as an informational update to the board.
