LUXCOM litigation update. Attorneys for Petitioner Luxcom, LLC, have agreed to Dismiss the Village Of Palmetto Bay Council as named Respondents

YACHT CLUB BY LUXCOM, LLC. Files a notice of voluntary dismissal as to the Village Council as defendant at 4:51 PM, Monday, October 28, 2019.  This is an admission that Village Attorney Dexter Lehtinen (and his firm) were correct in their limited Motion to dismiss filed as to Village of Palmetto Bay Council) arguing that the Village of Palmetto Bay Council is not a proper party to this proceeding. There are two parties listed as respondents to this action. The Village of Palmetto Bay as a municipal corporation as well as the Village of Palmetto Bay Council.

NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE

            Petitioner, YACHT CLUB BY LUXCOM, LLC, hereby files its Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice only as to Respondent, VILLAGE OF PALMETTO BAY COUNCIL, with each party to bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees

This is a partial victory, but the Village of Palmetto Bay remains a Respondent in this action that moves forward to the December 2019 hearing. 

This Council (and the taxpaying public) will miss Village Attorney Dexter Lehtinen's litigation skills. Let’s hope the Village Council finds a way to convince ‘retiring’ Village Attorney Dexter Lehtinen and his firm to carry on in the present litigated cases as runoff work.

See PRIOR RELATED POST of October 21, 2019, Monday, 10/21/2019: Motion to dismiss filed as to Village of Palmetto Bay Council. Update on Administrative action filed by Petitioner, YACHT CLUB BY LUXCOM, LLC. Once again, you can only read this information on this blog or on the official DOAH docket as there remains no update to the Palmetto Bay litigation page or in any of the email blasts of the village or our elected officials.

This notice was worked out between the parties (each side to bear their own costs and attorneys' fees). The Dismissal was filed in response to the motion filed last Monday, October 21, 2019, to dismiss the Petition as against the Village of Palmetto Bay Council arguing that the Village of Palmetto Bay Council is not a proper party to this proceeding. There are two parties listed as respondents to this action. The Village of Palmetto Bay as a municipal corporation as well as the Village of Palmetto Bay Council.
