Lawsuit | Lakestonycreek

Please note that these Exhibits include the full transcripts of the plaintiffs depositions, given under oath. The depositions were taken by SVDC's legal counsel in the later half of 2022. These three depositions are the only depositions taken by SVDC's defense counsel on behalf of the SVDC.

5.16.23: May 2023 SVDC Litigation Update

Additionally, please disregard the rumors being circulated that the SVDC’s Motion For Summary Judgment to dismiss the lawsuit has been denied. It has not. The Court has consolidated the SVDC’s Motion For Summary Judgment and the Plaintiffs’ Motion to be heard in a single hearing before the Court. The Rescheduling Order lists the last Motion filed at the top of the docket, in this case the Plaintiffs’ Motion. The SVDC’s Motion For Summary Judgment has not been dismissed and will still be heard by the Court. Submitted by: Brad Meneilly, SVDC Board Director

10.31.23: Lawsuit Update:

1. Judge Geary handed down his Ruling, with an Opinion, today on the arguments heard in his Court on July 5th and August 29th. Judge Geary ruled in favor of the SVDC by rejecting Plaintiff's motions for;
a. Contempt and request for
b. Monetary Sanctions [damages].
2. Judge Geary's opinion also made it clear to Plaintiff's counsel that past and current Board members are not parties to this action (except for Dan D. who is a named party) and ''rejects [Plaintiff's counsel's] invitation to direct Defendant SVDC to produce documents that are in the possession of nonparties."
3. Finally, he has directed that all discovery be concluded within the next 90 days . [Jan. 30, 2024]

I view this ruling as a win, win, win for the SVDC.

I would expect that the SVDC will be refiling its motion for Summary Judgment at the end of the 90 day discovery window.
