SANDPOINT — SilverWing at Sandpoint’s federal lawsuit against Bonner County is being redirected to Idaho’s state court.

U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge ordered on Wednesday that the matter be shifted out of federal court because none of SilverWing’s claims under federal law survived Bonner County’s motion for summary judgment last fall.

“Because the remaining state law claim raised by plaintiffs in this matter is ground soundly in Idaho law, the court finds as a matter of comity that the state law claim should be addressed by the state court,” Lodge wrote in a three-page order.
