Judge dismisses Curtis Blackwell's lawsuit against Mark Dantonio, Mark Hollis, Lou Anna K. Simon

Curtis Blackwell’s case saying he was wrongfully terminated by Michigan State has come to an end.

The former Michigan State football staffer’s federal lawsuit against former football coach Mark Dantonio, former athletic director Mark Hollis and former president Lou Anna K. Simon was dismissed on Wednesday in a ruling from U.S. District Court judge Janet Neff.

The ruling denied the objections of Blackwell’s attorneys, who were responding to recommendations made by magistrate Sally Berens on March 20 to dismiss the case.
