Supreme Court of Maryland Denied Certiorari in Guthrie v. Vincenti

Generally, I post blogs about e-discovery.  However, together with Alan Rifkin, Stuart Cherry, and Rifkin Weiner Livingston LLC, I have had the honor of representing the President of the County Council of Harford County, Maryland: in the Circuit Court; as appellee in the Appellate Court; and now in successfully opposing a request for a writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court of Maryland.

The opinion is reported at Guthrie v. Vincenti, bypass cert. denied, 490 Md. 138 (2025), subsequent opinion, 269 Md. App. 680 (2026), cert. denied, __ Md. __ (Aug. 21, 2026). The successful outcome is described in Supreme Court of Maryland Denies Cert Petition in Guthrie v. Vincenti – Rifkin Weiner Livingston LLC (Aug. 21, 2026).
