CRG Acquisition, LLC v. H. Scott Ross et al
I got curious about the legal wrangling surrounding the auction of the Sara Lee/Bryan Foods plant as well as the questions raised about West Point losing the sales tax revenue from the auction so I did some research on the issue. On this page I have posted for public download some of the relevant files I collected both with email questions and using the PACER system for Federal Court records. These are presented with little commentary. I will let you, the reader, decide if this was a smart way to handle things.

- The city board minutes from April 29, 2008 as published on their website. This is the special meeting called to repeal the zoning ordinance. This meeting occurred 7 days after the lawsuit was filed. I see no mention of a lawsuit in these minutes which are the latest available at the time of this page posting. I also failed to find any press report in or around the time of the auction that indicated the Mayor and Board were named in a suit filed by CRG.
