Submitted by Kevin Derby on October 8, 2012 - 4:34pm

Judge John C. Cooper of the Second Judicial Circuit Court of Floridahas just denied motions by former state Sen. Mike Haridopolos, state Sen. John Thrasher, and the Republican Party of Florida to dismiss a lawsuit brought against them by former RPOF Chairman Jim Greer. The lawsuit alleges the parties failed to follow through with their end of a severance agreement when Greer resigned in disgrace as RPOF chairman.

Judge Cooper's determination came after a two-hour hearing held in his chambers. He dismissed the motions "without prejudice," meaning the defendants can file again to dismiss if new evidence comes to light supporting their earlier motion.
