Global Tower Plans to Seek Dismissal of Landowner’s Complaint

American Tower subsidiary Global Tower Holdings served notice Tuesday on the U.S. District Court for Maryland that it plans to file a motion to dismiss the amended complaint of property owner Olcan III Properties in a rooftop cell tower dispute, said a scheduling order Wednesday (docket 1:22-cv-02456) signed by U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby. “In light of the foregoing,” said Griggsby’s order, Global Tower’s motion to dismiss will be due Feb. 1, with Olcan’s response due March 1. Global Tower’s reply will be due March 15, it said. Global Tower’s use of an easement to access the tower on the rooftop of a building that Olcan owns caused Olcan “to incur repair costs and to lose rents and profits,” said the amended complaint (see 2211140050). It seeks $75,000 in damages for breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and public nuisance.
