Montana AG orders county to drop lawsuit against Rocking R Bar MTN NEWS By: Annie Johnson - MTN News Posted at 12:55 PM, Jan 14, 2021 and last updated 2021-01-14 20:16:47-05 (UPDATE) Gallatin County Attorney Marty Lambert, who represents the Gallatin City-County Board of Health and Health Officer Matt Kelley, released the following message on Thursday afternoon: The State of Montana is not a party to the R Bar case. The Attorney General may lack authority to âorder and directâ a county attorney to dismiss a case where a local government entity, and not the State of Montana, is the plaintiff. The Attorney Generalâs letter cites a rule of civil procedure providing that all the parties may sign an agreement to dismiss a case. Today I talked to a party to the R Bar case, Health Officer Matt Kelley. Mr. Kelley does not agree to dismissal, so the rule cited by the attorney general cannot be employed to dismiss the case by noon on January 15, 2021.
