FLINT, MI -- A lawsuit filed by Flint Councilman Eric Mays against the city, Mayor Sheldon Neeley, members of the City Council and others has been dismissed by a federal court judge.
U.S. District Court Judge Bernard A. Friedman granted a motion to dismiss the complaint, which claimed other city officials violated the constitutional rights of Mays and his constituents by removing him from meetings for having been disruptive and subjecting the 1st Ward councilman to false arrest.
