Another St Mary's Lawsuit!

While poking around on Google, I stumbled across another lawsuit: The Rector, Wardens, and Vestrymen of St. Mary of The Angels Parish et al v. Church Mutual Insurance Company et al, filed October 23, 2013 in California Central District Federal Court. The et als on the Rector Wardens and Vestry side (the plaintiffs) are none other than Langley Brandt, Patrick Omeirs, Marilyn Bush, and Carolyn Morello (I believe she is Anthony Morello's widow). In addition to the Church Mutual Insurance Company, there are also some John Does, which of course we've seen before.

I'm not ready to pay to get more info on this lawsuit, but it looks like the plaintiffs want money, which of course we've seen before.

My wife suggests that the amount in dispute must be significant to take the matter into federal court. The plaintiffs are represented by Lytton, Williams, Messina & Hankin LLP, which means they are also spending big bucks, presumably from parish resources.
