Former Koch Employee Can Refile False-Imprisonment Suit

A former employee of William Koch can refile a lawsuit alleging the billionaire energy-company executive held him captive at a Colorado ranch, ruled a judge, who said it’s “not a case that’s just going to go away.”

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley in San Francisco dismissed Kirby Martensen’s lawsuit at a hearing today, giving him leave to file again to address the issue of whether his case should be brought in another jurisdiction.
