A ruling from the 407th District Court of Bexar County, Texas has dismissed the claims against OpenMPE in a lawsuit filed by its former treasurer.

Chairman Jack Connor forwarded a document signed by the judge in the matter which granted a summary judgement to dismiss all claims in the lawsuit filed in November, 2010 by Matthew Perdue. Connor said that the board of directors of the group -- still on the hunt for $50,000 in contributions -- has decided "it does not feel it is prudent to comment further than provide what is available as a matter of public record."

Perdue, who filed his own suit and represented himself at an April 19 hearing, was given an extra three weeks to amend his lawsuit "to asset a cognizable cause of action" against the defendants. The extra time did not impress the judge, by a reading of last week's ruling.
