RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – A trial court judge has dismissed a public records lawsuit against State Treasurer Richard Moore alleging he withheld documents about the pensions he runs.

Superior Court Judge Jim Hardin entered the dismissal motion Monday in Wake County court.

The State Employees Association of North Carolina accused Moore of failing to comply fully with records requests for information about the pension fund. But Moore said it had provided all documents that the group had asked to receive and called the lawsuit politically motivated.
Hardin dismissed the lawsuit because he wrote the group failed to provide facts that support a claim meriting relief.

Moore’s lawyer last month accused an association attorney of offering a bribe to drop the lawsuit. The group called the accusation preposterous.
