Washington County has cleared a hurdle in its planned sale of much of the former Fort Ritchie property.
But whether it is the last hurdle isn t known.
The Maryland Court of Special Appeals, in an opinion filed Thursday, affirmed a decision by a Washington County Circuit Court judge to dismiss Craig Mahrle s lawsuit challenging the county s sale of the property.
Mahrle s attorney, Edward Tolchin, said Monday that his client has up to 45 days to appeal the decision if he chooses to do so.
Mahrle, of Sabillasville, Md., did not return requests for comment.

How an imperfect snowstorm forecast turned out mostly right Jason Samenow How much snow fell versus the amount predicted between Sunday and Tuesday. The forecast for the snowstorm that is finally ending across the Washington region was about as complicated as it gets. The scenario involved one storm, with origins in the Pacific Ocean, that would race across the country, die out over Ohio, and then hand off its energy to a secondary storm developing off the Mid-Atlantic coast. Snow would come in two phases with an icy interlude in between. So many questions emerged: How much snow would fall in the first phase? When would a “dry slot” stop the snow? Where would the new coastal storm form? When would the second phase begin, and how long would it last? Where would the heaviest snow occur? Which computer model simulations were too snowy or not snowy enough?
