Unanimous Verdict Reached in Favor of M&C Golf Course Client and Homeowners

February 1, 2010

After a 45-minute deliberation, a jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of Sterling Hills Golf Club, represented by Edmund G. Farrell, III in a case alleging nuisance, slander and civil rights violations. Plaintiff, Kagy, brought this action on his own behalf, and on behalf of his family.

Tom Kagy, an attorney, and his family resided at a residential development adjoining the golf club. He alleged that the club, along with some neighbors, harassed his family because they were of Asian descent. The harassment allegations consisted of continuous noise from golfers, balls being hit purposely at his home, night time harassment with noise and lights, and attacks on the family by the use of microwave radiation.

Following the first week and a half of trial, the Court granted the individual homeowners non-suits. Richard C. Moreno represented one of the homeowners. The trial continued for another week against the Golf Club before the jury ruled in favor of the Sterling Hills Golf Club.
