PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The former leader of Rhode Island’s economic development agency has voluntarily dismissed a complaint against lawyers who represented the agency in the $75 million 38 Studios loan-guarantee deal, attorneys said Friday.

David Martland, a lawyer for former Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Keith Stokes, filed a dismissal notice this week in Superior Court. Stokes said he dismissed it because he realized it would be a distraction to the main lawsuit.
