	Some Defendants out in Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Argus Leader March 26, 2008 http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080326/NEWS/803260333/1001 A judge has removed some defendants from a sex abuse lawsuit involving the Sioux Falls Catholic Diocese. Tom Gust, 53, filed suit in February, claiming his O'Gorman High School typing teacher, Bob Krantz, sexually assaulted him in 1970. U.S. Circuit Judge Karen Schreier on Monday granted a motion to remove three defendants: the Rev. Howard Carroll and Bishops Lambert Hoch and Paul Swain. Carroll and Hoch are dead, Schreier wrote, and Gust made no allegations regarding Swain. Remaining as defendants are former priest Bill Walsh, two unknown clergy, the diocese itself and Krantz, who is now a priest in Montrose and Humboldt.
