LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -Attorneys for Texas Tech University want four school employees dismissed from former football coach Mike Leach’s lawsuit over his firing.
The university’s attorneys filed documents for the dismissals Tuesday and filed others supporting their sovereign immunity claim.
Tuesday was the final day filings could be made leading up to a May 14 hearing on Tech’s claim of sovereign immunity. The immunity would mean a state agency or entity can’t be sued without permission from the Texas Legislature or without a waiver based on a defendant’s conduct.
Leach was fired Dec. 30, two days after he was suspended following a claim from the family of receiver Adam James that the coach mistreated the player after he got a concussion.
