A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by five authors against Eagle Publishing, the parent company of Regnery Publishing, a Washington-based conservative imprint. The authors had charged that the company deprived them of royalties by selling their books at a steep discount to book clubs and other organizations owned by the same parent company. Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of United States District Court in Washington ruled on Wednesday that because the authors had contracts with Regnery, not Eagle, and those contracts included binding arbitration clauses, the lawsuit was invalid. âWe are very pleased with the judgeâs dismissal of the lawsuit,â Marji Ross, president and publisher of Regnery, said. Richard Miniter, one of the authors, said they would file an arbitration case next week.
