<b>Decision of Note: </b>Kid Rock Advisers Win Suit Dismissal
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan dismissed claims against Kid Rock's attorney William Horton and manager Edward Andrews by parties who lost two previous suits over contracts Kid Rock had signed early in his career. EB-Bran Productions v. Ritchie, 06-11564.
The U.S. Court of Appeals had decided in the first suit that most of the EB-Bran parties' state-law counterclaims in a declaratory suit by Kid Rock were pre-empted by federal copyright law and that all claims in the case were time-barred. Ritchie v. Williams, 395 F.3d 283 (6th Cir. 2005). The district court later dismissed on claim pre-clusion grounds a suit by EB-Bran against Kid Rock and related parties. EB-Bran Productions Inc. v. Warner Elektra Atlantic Inc., 03-75149. The court also issued Rule 11 sanctions against EB-Bran's lawyers.
