Ore. Judge Postpones AT&T Summary Judgment Hearing at Request of Counsel

U.S. Magistrate Judge Mustafa Kasubhai for Oregon in Eugene postponed oral argument to Oct. 17 at 1 p.m. PDT on the cross motions for summary judgment filed June 1 by AT&T and Lake County, Oregon, said his text-only scheduling order Wednesday (docket 6:22-cv-01635). The postponement was at the request of counsel, said the order. AT&T wants the court to declare the county’s denial of its application for a wireless telecommunications facility “amounted to an effective prohibition” of services in violation of the Telecommunications Act (see 2307260023). The county contends AT&T is barred from “seeking redress” from the district court because it failed to appeal the county’s application denial to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.
