Plaintiffs in the McIntire Road Extended case agree to dismiss VDOT from the case as requested in VDOT's July 6, 2011 motion to dismiss. Thus, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the only defendant in this case. Judge Moon will hear arguments on the plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order on Thursday July 21, 2011 (10:00 AM) in the federal courthouse in Charlottesville.
