Schlumberger lawsuit dismissed

Horseheads, N.Y. — The legal challenge to the Schlumberger project in Horseheads has been dismissed.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Judith O’Shea, who heard arguments in the case in early February in her district court in Elmira, dismissed the lawsuit in a 26-page written ruling issued this week.

The lawsuit was filed by a group of area residents called People for a Healthy Environment, represented by Ithaca attorney Helen Slottje.
