It is a civil case that has been appealed by the plaintiff following a trial court decision. The Supreme Court agreed with the entire of trial’s court decision but denied part of the Defendants’ application. The case was decided in April 18, 2012.

Plaintiffs have moved to dismiss their action against the Defendants under K.S.A 60-241(b). Defendants have opposed this motion because they feel it would be unfair to them because 1) it would not settle the issues in the case, 2) it would deny the Defendants further discovery, and 3) it represents only a partial dismissal of the case because the Court would maintain the protective order.
