The former attorney of a man who was shot by R.C. Soles has dismissed his lawsuit claiming the former state senator paid off the victim to avoid a civil suit.

Scott Dorman filed a voluntary dismissal June 0 of his lawsuit against Kyle Blackburn, who was shot in August 009 by Soles, according to the Columbus County Court Clerk’s Office.

The lawsuit, filed earlier this month, accused Soles of paying off Blackburn to avoid a civil suit. Dorman would not comment on the voluntary dismissal.

Blackburn, now 4, hired Dorman to file a civil suit against Soles after the shooting. But, according to Dorman’s lawsuit, Blackburn fired him before the suit against Soles was filed. The suit accused Blackburn of failing to pay Dorman and taking money from Soles.
