April 1 Discovery Deadline Set in AT&T v. Lane County, Ore.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Mustafa Kasubhai for Oregon ordered discovery to be complete by April 1 in AT&T’s wireless infrastructure lawsuit against Lane County, Oregon, said a text entry Tuesday (docket 6:22-cv-01635). Dispositive motions are due June 1, said the judge. The court “will set further deadlines in this action following its ruling on the parties' anticipated motions for summary judgment,” he said. AT&T has been trying for more than a year to place a 150-foot-tall cell tower with accompanying communications electronics on a 40-by-40-foot fenced lease area on a five-acre parcel of land in western Oregon to provide and improve local wireless services, but the county violated the Telecommunications Act by denying approval of the proposed facility, alleged AT&T in an October complaint (see 2210260009).
