CHARLESTON Gov. Jim Justice agreed to “reside” in Charleston as required by the West Virginia Constitution in a settlement of a lawsuit brought by a former lawmaker.
According to a dismissal order issued Monday by Kanawha County Circuit Judge Daniel P. O’Hanlon, Justice agreed to “reside” in Charleston as defined by an opinion issued by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals last November.
In a Nov. 20, 2020, opinion, the Supreme Court denied a motion for a writ of prohibition sought by Justice attorneys Mike Carey and George Terwilliger after a Kanawha County judge ruled against a motion to dismiss a writ of mandamus case brought by former Pendleton County delegate Isaac Sponaugle asking the court to require Justice to follow the Constitution and live in Charleston.
