CLASS ACTION UPDATE

There was a hearing held on the class action suit before Judge Kaufman on Tuesday.  Judge Kaufman did not make a decision.  He indicated that he is going to take it under advisement, review the extensive record (which is hundreds of pages long), and get a decision out as soon as he reasonably can.  After that, if he should rule for us, then the Board would have a right to appeal to the Supreme Court.  Likewise, of course, if he rules against us, then we have a right to appeal to the Supreme Court. 

Keep in mind that we also have the class action pending in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County in front of a different judge, Judge Stucky.  The decision on the administrative appeal before Judge Kaufman may or may not have any affect on the class action one way or the other.  

Should anyone have any other questions, they may call me at my office at 304-342-3106.  Thanks.
