DiMaio DNC lawsuit dismissed — again
May 28, 2008 at 3:58 pm by Wayne GarciaYou can pretty much close the book on this one, as William March at the Trib is reporting:
A federal judge this morning dismissed a lawsuit by Tampa Democratic Party activists Victor DiMaio and Mike Steinberg challenging the national Democratic Party’s decision to ban Florida’s convention delegation because of the state’s too-early primary.
After hearing about an hour of legal arguments from Steinberg, representing DiMaio, and attorneys for the Democratic National Committee, Judge Richard Lazzara granted a motion by the DNC attorneys for dismissal, declining to hold any further hearing on the facts of the case.
The DNC could decide a convention delegate seating compromise this Saturday as it hears an appeal of its decision stripping Michigan and Florida of its convention votes after both states moved their primaries ahead of an approved date.
