ALLIANCE, Neb. A Box Butte County District Court Judge has denied a motion by the Nebraska Brand Committee to dismiss a lawsuit against it by the state’s largest cattle feeder.
The Brand Committee, represented by Assistant Attorney General Joshua Dethlefsen, had moved to dismiss the lawsuit on grounds that the plaintiffs, Broken Bow-based Adams Land and Cattle Co., had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
In an order filed on Dec. 23, Judge Travis O’Gorman wrote that under the Nebraska court rules of pleading in civil cases, “to prevail on a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, a plaintiff must allege sufficient facts to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face.”
