Catherine Hanrahan (Partner-Washington, DC) and Pernell “Perry” Choren (Senior Associate-Washington, DC) obtained dismissal in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on behalf of a local government agency that was sued pertaining to the operation and management of a large residential property. Catherine and Perry argued that the plaintiff’s Complaint (1) was duplicative of allegations she was arguing in related litigation; (2) must be dismissed for the plaintiff’s failure to comply with the strict notice requirements of D.C. Code § 6-205(a); and (3) to the extent she was alleging equitable and/or contractual claims within, must be barred by the doctrine of laches and the applicable statute of limitations. In a written decision, the court found Catherine and Perry’s arguments persuasive and ruled that the plaintiff’s Complaint is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, for the plaintiff’s failure to provide compliant § 6-205(a) before filing suit, and because her allegations are likely being addressed in the aforementioned related litigation. Accordingly, the court granted the Motion to Dismiss and dismissed the plaintiff’s claims with prejudice. This is the fifth dispositive motion victory that Catherine and Perry have achieved on behalf of this same client this calendar year.
