Board accepts small remnant opioid settlement share — roughly $4,355 expected for Dinwiddie
Summary
County counsel said Dinwiddie’s estimated share from a remnant‑defendant nationwide opioid settlement is about $4,355 after fees; the board accepted the settlement and authorized county counsel to finalize necessary signatures.
County legal counsel presented a resolution to accept funds from a nationwide settlement with six remnant defendants related to opioid litigation. Counsel described Dinwiddie County's participation in prior suits and settlements and said that, after attorneys' fees, the county's share from this remnant package "appears to be about $4,355," while noting the final amount could be more or less.
Counsel and outside counsel recommended accepting the settlement and designating the funds for opioid‑remediation efforts; the board approved the resolution unanimously by roll call and authorized the county attorney to electronically sign the necessary documents.
The county attorney's office advised the monies be used for opioid remediation consistent with previous settlement proceeds and the board followed that recommendation.
