ASHEVILLE, North Carolina (WLOS) — A lawsuit against former Congressman Madison Cawthorn has been dismissed.

The Bopp Law Firm of Indiana represented Cawthorn in a lawsuit challenging his ability to run for re-election. The firm then filed suit against Cawthorn, saying he failed to pay more than $193,000 in fees.

Federal court papers show Cawthorn has paid the outstanding balance and the suit has been dismissed.

Cawthorn lost in last year’s primary to now Congressman Chuck Edwards.
