BCC-Childers lawsuit cleared to go to trial

Lego Wonder Woman

County Clerk Pam Childers’ attorney submitted a voluntary dismissal of her appeal regarding a judge’s earlier ruling and notified the court that her discovery phase has ended and they are ready to go to trial. Read Notice of Vol Dismissal.

The Escambia Board of County Commissioners filed a lawsuit in January 2022 to get the Clerk to make payments to the 401a retirement plans of Commissioners Steven Barry, Robert Bender and Lumon May. Last summer, Childers tried to squash the lawsuit and filed a countersuit that Judge William Stone dismissed – and she appealed that decision.

Dropping her appeal means a trial date may be set soon.
