RALEIGH, N.C. — Several state and local court officials have been removed from a federal lawsuit filed by roughly a dozen people who allege the operation of North Carolina’s new electronic courts records and case management system contributed to their unlawful arrest or extended jail detainment.
Claims remain against Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden, Wake County Sheriff Willie Rowe and Tyler Technologies, the Texas-based technology company responsible for developing the electronic filing system, The Charlotte Observer reported. “Our clients retain the ability to refile claims ... whether in federal court or a different forum — as we continue to learn more,” Zack Ezor, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said Wednesday.
“We are pleased that plaintiffs dismissed their meritless claims against and court officials,” Graham Wilson, a state courts spokesperson, said in a statement. “This dismissal should answer inaccuracies regarding eCourts as we remain focused on completing this generational expansion of access to justice for North Carolina.”
