On March 27,
2014, Judge Cheryl Gering of the South Dakota First Judicial Circuit Court denied a Motion by ABC News to dismiss the agricultural disparagement lawsuit filed against it and other defendants by BPI. On April 23, 2014, ABC News filed a Petition with the South Dakota
Supreme Court to reverse or clarify portions of Judge Gering's Order.
Supreme Court Chief Justice David Gilbertson, upon motion by ABC, had
suspended the litigation while the Supreme Court considered the
Petition. On May 22, 2014, the Supreme Court denied the Petition of ABC
News and lifted the stay. The Supreme Court's order allows the litigation to proceed into the discovery phase. News coverage is available here from the Sioux City Journal.
The McKusick Law Library also maintains a LibGuide with up-to-date information regarding the lawsuit and related resources. The LibGuide is available here, as well as through the Law Library's homepage under Research Guides and LibGuides.
