A lawsuit filed more than five years ago against the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, a former Bishop and a convicted former priest have been dismissed.
The lawsuit was filed by three of the alleged victims of Robert Deland.
No word on how much the lawsuits were settled for and it appears we might never know, but this long legal battle that started in 2019 appears to be over.

It was back in 2018 when police arrested Father Robert Deland, the man many knew as Father Bob.
DeLand was pastor at St. Agnes Parish in Tittabawassee Township.
