Cumberland County Attorney Jim Thompson filed a motion in Chancery Court to withdraw the county's counter complaint against Hewlett Spencer, LLC.

The counter complaint sought the cost of legal expenses incurred by the county in defending the suit.

Hewlett Spencer, LLC of Nashville filed the lawsuit against Cumberland County for breach of contract involving the expansion project of the Justice Center and Cumberland County Jail.

The suit was filed in December 2008 and seeks a judgment against the county and payment in the amount of $304,352.09 for Steve Hewlett's time and expense spent on the project.

Hewlett submitted a bill to the county for the same amount shortly after commissioners decided to rebid the complete Justice Center project and accepted a bid proposal which was millions less than Hewlett Spencer's guaranteed maximum price.
