The Rainy River Cattlemen's Association is starting 2011 without legal action hanging over its head.

The Association says a lawsuit launched by its former barn manager Russell Richards has been dismissed by the courts.

Richards launched the suit against the Association and several board members after being dismissed from his position in 2007.

In dismissing the case, the Association says the judge also ordered Richards to pay financial compensation for defamation of two board members.
