Astros Ask Harris County Judges to Dismiss Lawsuits

The Astros have asked Harris County district judges to dismiss the three lawsuits filed against the ballclub by ticket holders who claim they were defrauded by the sign-stealing scandal in 2017-18. In each case, attorneys for the team say ticket holders lack standing to file suit, their claims are barred by the statute of limitations and plaintiffs have failed to state a claim upon which a court could grant a judgment against the Astros.

A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by the New Mexico Environment Department against the city of Santa Fe over a worker's electrocution death. The city employee died in April 2019 after being electrocuted while attempting to replace a light fixture. The lawsuit stated the man was not a trained electrician. An Occupational Health and Safety Bureau investigation revealed the city had committed multiple violations by having untrained workers replace electrical equipment. The city will pay $120,000, over half of which goes toward training and safety improvements.
