AT&T and Liberal, Kansas, Dismiss Cell Tower Dispute Without Prejudice

All claims and defenses between AT&T and the city of Liberal, Kansas, are dismissed without prejudice, said their joint stipulation Thursday (docket 6:22-cv-01264) in U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas in Wichita. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, said the stipulation. AT&T sued Liberal in November, alleging the city violated the Telecommunications Act when it denied AT&T’s application for permission to build a 150-foot-tall wireless communication monopole facility and related equipment to be located on a local golf course (see 2211250013). AT&T said then it needed to install the facility to remedy “significant service deficiencies” in its personal wireless service coverage in the area.
