Progress in Lozman case: He drops 7 Riviera officials from... | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

Judge Hurley tries to make both parties play nice, nice. Fane  Lozman, the gentleman with the houseboat seized by the city of Riviera Beach and a Supreme Court victory behind him, gets to amend his lawsuit. The city will let him review tapes of city commission meetings - the ones where he was escorted out the door. Look for a big hearing coming up this October. Click title for link. From the article:

This week, Hurley rejected Hopkins’ advice to dismiss Lozman’s lawsuit. Then, in hopes of putting an end to the escalating paper war, Hurley scheduled Friday’s hearing which, he said, turned out to be surprisingly productive.
Before it ended, Lozman agreed to drop seven city commissioners from the lawsuit and instead sue only the city for allegedly punishing him for speaking out against the city’s redevelopment efforts. In exchange, city officials agreed Lozman could amend his lawsuit to include more recent events, including last year’s U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the high court ruled the city shouldn’t have used maritime law to destroy Lozman’s floating home that was docked at the city marina.
