Yuma Dismisses Breach of Contract Counterclaim vs. Spectrum

Spectrum Pacific West and the city of Yuma, Arizona, filed a joint stipulation of dismissal Wednesday (docket 2:20-cv-01204) in U.S. District Court for Arizona in Phoenix of Yuma’s counterclaims against the Charter subsidiary. The city seeks to dismiss its counterclaim with prejudice, said the stipulation. As a result of the city’s dismissal, “the matter will be closed,” it said. Spectrum sued Yuma in June 2020 over the city's alleged refusal to comply with Arizona's universal video franchising law (see 2303090024). Yuma’s now-dismissed counterclaims asserted Spectrum’s lawsuit breached the indefeasible right of use agreement that Time Warner Cable, Spectrum’s predecessor company, signed with the city over the use of Spectrum’s fiber capacity.
