{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.
