YORK, S.C. (AP) — The Confederate flag will not be hanging in a York County courtroom.
A North Carolina man demanded that the flag and portraits of Confederate generals go back into the man courtroom of the York County Courthouse.
However, a judge dismissed the lawsuit during a hearing on Thursday.
Russell Walker of Aberdeen, North Carolina, filed a lawsuit in June against York County Clerk of Court David Hamilton, asking a judge to force Hamilton to return the flag and pictures back to the main courtroom.
The lawsuit alleges the S.C. Heritage Act allows only the legislature to move Confederate items in public buildings.
County officials have resisted the call to restore the flag and the portraits and wanted the case dismissed.
