Court dismisses Courser suit against Michigan House leaders
A federal judge in Grand Rapids dismissed former Michigan lawmaker Todd Courser's lawsuit accusing ex-leaders and staffers of conspiring to oust him and press criminal charges. Judge Gordon Quist ruled immunity shields the House and affiliates. Courser’s claim was deemed implausible. Courser resigned in 2015 amid a sex scandal that also saw Cindy Gamrat expelled from the House and later charged with official misconduct.
