Carlos Locklyn is headed to trial with his former employer.
According to documents obtained by The Oregonian’s James Crepea, Lane County Circuit Court Judge Michelle Bassi denied Locklyn’s request for a partial dismissal of the civil suit Oregon filed against him for alleged breach of contract.
On Monday, Bassi’s office notified attorneys for both Oregon and Locklyn that the case is ready to be assigned a trial date. Locklyn’s attorney, John Berg, filed an amended answer to the university’s lawsuit last Wednesday, reiterating the denials and legal defenses he first presented in May.
