A lawsuit filed over the rezoning of a large parcel of land in Rockingham County for a possible casino has been dismissed.
On March 21, Judge Clayton D. Somers dismissed a suit filed in October 2023 by the owners of Camp Carefree and other citizens of Rockingham County, writing that the suit has a “lack of subject matter jurisdiction.”
“Having carefully considered the pleadings and memoranda of the parties, the documents and materials submitted by the parties (including the case law and other materials cited therein) and after hearing and considering the arguments of counsel, the Court has found, concluded, and determined that Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss pursuant to Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) should be granted for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.”
