Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen has granted Little Rock Police Capt. Marcus Paxton’s motion to voluntarily dismiss his lawsuit against Chief Keith Humphrey for retaliating him over perceived criticism of the chief. The motion for dismissal didn’t state a reason. The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be refiled. Advertisement Paxton was represented by Chris Burks, who this week stepped off a similar case against Humphrey by three other officers, including assistant chief Hayward Finks, over Humphrey’s actions against them. Burks resigned the case rather than be held in contempt for releasing information in the case that was under a protective order. He disputed that he’d done that.
