UPDATE: 10:35 a.m. -- Ingham County Circuit Court Judge William Collette on Wednesday morning dismissed the lawsuit challenging Detroit's consent agreement. Collette said the Detroit City Council should have passed a resolution declaring the agreement invalid, but now that it was in place the city would have to live with it.

"The capacity to bring this lawsuit resides with the mayor and the City Council," Judge Collette ruled, according to the Detroit News. "This lawsuit will not move forward.. This is such an obvious issue. …I saw it from the moment this thing was filed."
