Property Owner’s Amended Suit vs. American Tower Now Due Nov. 15
U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby for Maryland signed a scheduling order Wednesday granting the joint Oct. 18 motion of plaintiff Olcan III Properties and defendant American Tower for Olcan III to file an amended complaint and American Tower to file a responsive pleading under an extended deadline. The amended complaint is now due Nov. 15 and American Tower’s answer is due Dec. 6, said the order (docket 22-cv-02456). Olcan III filed suit Aug. 8 in Baltimore Circuit Court alleging American Tower breached an easement contract for the placement of a rooftop cell tower at a building it owns in Baltimore when it caused “significant damage” to the property, forcing Olcan III to incur repair costs and to lose rents and profits. American Tower removed the complaint Sept. 27 to the Baltimore federal court.
