Lawsuit Thrown Out

The lawsuit by Sonya Brown against the City of Albion and multiple citizens and council members has ended. Brown v City of Albion et al. has been ended by Judge Jarbou, and this judgment includes all individuals she sued. Her original lawsuit was pages and pages of Garret Brown-inspired accusations. Some of those accusations were word for word by Garrett Brown in his public writings in years past.

City Watch received a copy of a letter sent to one of the many defendants, here is partial look at that letter:

“Attached for your file and review is Judge Jarbou’s Opinion and Order denying plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration of our original motion to dismiss, granting our motion for summary judgment, and the final Judgment dismissing plaintiff’s case.

The Court denied plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration because there was nothing pled in the complaint from which it could be inferred that any city policy was motivated by an intent to retaliate against the plaintiff. The Court noted that none of the council members were involved in plaintiff’s arrest, and that probable cause existed to obtain the arrest warrant. Judge Jarbou ruled that plaintiff’s argument that other city council members were not arrested or prosecuted for charter violations was misplaced, finding that the other city council members were not involved in similar conduct.

The Court granted our motion for summary judgment on the two remaining claims against the City, finding that the absence of a constitutional violation was fatal to the claims. She also ruled the charter provisions were not unconstitutionally vague or overbroad.”

Sonya Brown, who filed the lawsuit, has 30 days to appeal the judgment. City Watch will update you as we get more information.
