Giant fm WTCA has learned that Michael J. Roose, the attorney representing the Marshall County Council, who filed a lawsuit against the Marshall County Board of Commissioners and Tamarack Solar Energy LLC in November filed a notice of dismissal this week.  On January 13th the Notice of Dismissal without Prejudice was filed in Marshall Superior Court at 11:10 a.m.

The initial lawsuit was over the proposed solar farm in Burr Oak and alleged that County Commissioner Kevin Overmyer had a conflict of interest.  The council claimed that Swift Energy Storage planned to build a battery storage facility on Overmyer’s property adjacent to the proposed solar farm.  The Council contends that his vote on the decommissioning plan for the solar farm was a conflict of interest.

The Notice of Dismissal without Prejudice notifies the court that this case is dismissed without prejudice.  A notice of dismissal without prejudice is a document that informs the parties involved that a case has been dismissed but can be refiled later.
