It appears that settlement negotiations between the West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority and the County of Webster have failed at this point as the arguments before the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has been reset.
According to the Court's docket, the lawsuit against the County over its delinquent payment of a nearly $1.5 million jail bill will be heard by the Court on September 7, 2016, beginning at 10:00 a.m. (this case is the fourth case scheduled at 10:00 a.m.). The summary of the case from the Court states: "Petitioner [jail authority] seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Webster County Commission and its commissioners to pay for the care and upkeep of those prisoners incarcerated in jail in the West Virginia Regional Jail System at the direction of the authorities in Webster County."
