Rochester's Ward 4 election trial set for November
ROCHESTER — A potential trial date for a complaint questioning the election status of Rochester City Council member Andy Friederichs has been set for late November.
Olmsted County District Judge Erin Lindhart Felten set the potential Nov. 24 trial date during a scheduling conference on Monday, but she anticipates receiving a motion to dismiss later this summer.
As Friederichs’ legal representative, Samuel Diehl of the Minneapolis-based CrossCastle law firm confirmed plans to request the trial be nixed.
“There’s no basis for the challenge,” he said. “I don’t know whether there would be any basis for a trial at this point.”
