The nephew of former Guam Archbishop Anthony Apuron removed the Holy See, or the Vatican, from the list of defendants in his clergy sex abuse case.
Mark Apuron, through attorney Delia Lujan Wolff, filed a “notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice” of all claims against “Defendant Holy See, State of the Vatican City, its instrumentalities and/or agents.”
A dismissal without prejudice means the matter is not dismissed forever, and can be brought to court again.
Mark Apuron’s claims against other defendants are not dismissed, he said in his Jan. 21 court filing. His claims against the Archdiocese of Agana, Anthony Apuron, the Capuchin Franciscans and others remain.
