Mayor Ron Littlefield will go back to the court where he won his lone legal victory and try once again to stop a recall election.
Hal North, attorney for Littlefield, filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to stop the Hamilton County Election Commission from holding a mayoral recall election in August 2012.
North said the mayor also is seeking to stop candidates from qualifying for a recall election by blocking the distribution of qualifying petitions.
“We hope to have a temporary injunction before qualifying [opens] on January 6,” North said.
Littlefield is out of the country and could not be reached for comment Friday.
