ITEM 8.01 Other Events
 
 
As previously reported, on December 19, 2022, the 11th Appellate District Court in Trumbull County, Ohio (the “Court”) denied AWMS Water Solutions, LLC’s (the “Company”) writ of mandamus action that resulted from the suspension order of the Company’s salt water injection well. AWMS Water Solutions, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Avalon Holdings Corporation.
 
In March 2019, the Company received notice that the Court issued summary judgment in favor of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in the writ of mandamus action. The decision was appealed to the Supreme Court of Ohio in April 2019. Oral arguments in the case occurred in April 2020. In September 2020, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled in favor of the Company. The Supreme Court of Ohio reversed the decision of the Court and remanded the case back to that court for a trial on the merits. The trial occurred in September and October 2021.
 
The Court determined, in the December 19, 2022 ruling that the Company failed to establish a cognizable property interest that would necessitate a just compensation/takings analysis and accordingly denied the Company’s petition for writ of mandamus. The Company appealed this decision on January 30, 2023 and on January 24, 2024 the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled in a unanimous decision to overturn the Court of Appeal’s decision. The Supreme Court of Ohio remanded to the Court again for a decision on the mandamus complaint.
