Ballot harvester, Benjamin Marin and Citizens for a Better Arizona’s lawsuit against A.J. La Faro, Immediate Past Chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Committee, has been dismissed by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Douglas Gerlach.
Judge Gerlach indicated in his ruling on the civil lawsuit that, “No purpose is to be served by prolonging this litigation and submitting the case to a jury.” Judge Gerlach said “La Faro is granted summary judgement in his favor against plaintiff Benjamin Marin. The claims asserted by Marin against La Faro are dismissed.” Judge Gerlach went on to say “La Faro is granted summery judgement in his favor and against plaintiff Citizens for a Better Arizona. Nothing submitted in opposition to La Faro’s motion represented an attempt on Citizen’s behalf to avoid summary judgement. The claims asserted by Citizens for a Better Arizona against La Faro are dismissed.”
