	Judge Dismisses Lawsuit against Regina High School By Shirley Ragsdale Des Moines Register [Iowa City IA] October 10, 2006 http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061010/NEWS/61010010 Regina Catholic Education Center officials learned today that the lawsuit they feared would force the school into bankruptcy has been dismissed. District Court Judge C.H. Pelton ruled that under Iowa law, the school's liability for claims expired five years after Michael Gould last attended Regina High School — which was 1972. Scheduled for trial Oct. 23, Gould sued the school, the Davenport Diocese and retired Sioux City Bishop Lawrence Soens alleging Soens sexually abused him when he was a Regina student and Soens was principal of the Iowa City Catholic high school.
