    Uploaded by

    John Dodge
    The defendants filed a motion to withdraw their previous motion for sanctions against plaintiff's attorney Saulter for allegedly violating a confidentiality order. The defendants state that seeking sanctions against the CBS news station was a mistake and they formally withdraw that request. They also clarify that at no time did they seek sanctions against plaintiff Young. As for attorney Saulter, the defendants withdraw their motion for sanctions at the urging of Mayor Lightfoot, who believes Saulter should be given the benefit of the doubt for not appreciating the confidentiality order remained in effect after dismissal of the case.

    DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO WITHDRAW THEIR MOTION FOR SANCTIONS


    AGAINST ATTORNEY SAULTER

    Defendants City of Chicago (“Defendant City”), by and through its attorney, Mark A.

    Flessner, Corporation Counsel of the City of Chicago, and the Individual Defendants, by and

    through one of their attorneys, Nathan Shine, Assistant Corporation Counsel, hereby

    withdraws their Motion for Sanctions against Attorney Saulter for violating this Court’s

    Confidentiality Order. In support of this Motion, , Defendants state as follows:

    1. The action sought against the CBS2 news station was a mistake and we formally withdraw

    that request to the court even though the court has previously ruled on that motion.

    Case: 1:19-cv-05312 Document #: 49 Filed: 12/18/20 Page 2 of 3 PageID #:230

    2. At no time did the City ever seek sanctions against Ms. Young, and to remove any doubt, we

    specifically affirm that no such sanctions were ever sought against Ms. Young.

    3. As to attorney Saulter, we formally withdraw our motion for sanctions. We take very

    seriously our responsibility as officers of the court and were very concered that a violation of a

    court order had occurred.

    4. Nonetheless, at Mayor Lightfoot's urging, we believe that it is appropriate to withdraw our

    motion for sanctions against Attorney Saulter. The Mayor believes and we agree that we should

    give Attorney Saulter the benefit of the doubt that he did not appreciate that the court's

    confidentiality order continued in full force and effect, even after the voluntary dismissal of the

    case in March 2020. For these reasons, we withdraw our motion for sanctions against Attorney

    Saulter and urge no action against him by the court.

    Dated: December 18, 2020 Respectfully submitted,
