Sprint Settlement Approved

{Louisville, Kentucky}…U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell has approved a $1.4 million class-action settlement between Kentucky landowners and Sprint Communication. The settlement stems from a suit filed in June in federal court in Louisville accusing Sprint and Qwest Communications of trespassing on the landowners’ property, digging up the ground and putting the cables in without permission. A fairness hearing is set for June 18th.
