State Court Files Motion to Dismiss and Media Responds

The Maine State Court system defendants filed a motion asking the federal court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Courthouse News Service, the Portland Press Herald, the Bangor Daily News and other publications over delayed access to documents in the judicial branch’s new e-filing system. In its motion, the defendants urged that the Media’ complaint should be dismissed because changes that will be implemented March 15 will do away with the delay. The media filed a response.
