The hearing for a lawsuit filed against the Statesboro mayor and City Council by a group of local businessmen was postponed due to scheduling conflict with some of the plaintiffs. Six men - Earl Dabbs, Charles Olliff, Raybon Anderson, Jody Stubbs, Ray Hendley and Ellis Wood - were named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the city, which was filed in the Superior Court of Bulloch County June 29. According to Dan Snipes, the plaintiffs’ legal counsel from the Franklin, Taulbee, Rushing, Snipes and Marsh law firm, the hearing was scheduled for Monday, but due to an inability of some of the plaintiffs to appear, it was postponed until Aug. 31.
