In a significant legal development, the federal judge overseeing the “good time” lawsuit has denied the county’s motion for summary disposition, marking a pivotal victory for the plaintiffs.
The county’s law firm, Fletcher Fealko Shoudy Francis PC, presented several arguments in an attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed, but these arguments were ultimately rejected by the Court, allowing the case to proceed.
The ongoing litigation, led by Kevin Lindke, centers on the rights of individuals who believe they were wronged by the county’s illegal practices. Lindke, along with other affected litigants, has fought to ensure their voices are heard, and this recent ruling is a testament to their perseverance.
“This is a major win for all of us,” said Lindke. “We have effectively prevailed on our claims, and we are now on track to continue our fight for justice. This victory is not just mine, but belongs to everyone involved, particularly Mr. Phil Ellison of Outside Legal Counsel, who believed in this case from the start and worked tirelessly to secure this outcome.”
Ellison’s commitment to the case has been unwavering, and his efforts have clearly paid off.
“Hats off to you, Counselor,” Lindke added, praising Ellison’s dedication and hard work.
The lawsuit has garnered substantial attention, as it represents a broader struggle for the rights of individuals within the county. Lindke emphasized the importance of standing up for one’s rights and taking action when those rights are infringed upon.
“When we stand up for our rights and are willing to take action, this is the result,” he said.
The case has also highlighted the growing discontent within the community, with Lindke stating, “The old ways of doing things are done in this county. We The People have had enough.”
