Bland v. State (Per Curiam Opinion)
Annotate this CaseBefore the Supreme Court were consolidated appeals of three separate final orders of the circuit court. The appeals were made by Petitioners, state troopers or their survivors, and were as follows: (1) Petitioners appealed a March 30, 2011 order dismissing their complaint against the state police and others alleging they were placed in the wrong retirement plan; (2) Petitioners appealed a March 30, 2011 order granting summary judgment in favor of the state police in Petitioners' claim that the police, during the recruitment of Petitioners, misrepresented which retirement plan Petitioners would be placed in upon their employment as state troopers; and (3) Petitioners appealed a June 29, 2011 order denying Petitioners' motion, made pursuant to W.V. R. Civ. P. 60(b), for relief from the circuit court's March 30, 2011 order dismissing the complaint against the retirement board, state, state police retirement system, and others. The Supreme Court (1) affirmed the court's March 30, 2011 order dismissing all of the respondents except the state police; (2) affirmed the March 30, 2011 order that granted summary judgment on behalf of the state police; and (3) affirmed the June 29, 2011 order denying Petitioners' Rule 60(b) motion.
