BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s sole abortion clinic in Fargo has entered into settlement talks on a lawsuit it filed against a new law that requires doctors who perform abortions to obtain hospital-admitting privileges.
New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, which is helping the Red River Women’s Clinic, filed a lawsuit in state court last year challenging the law. The case was slated for trial this week.
Attorney Autumn Katz with the Center for Reproductive Rights says settlement negotiations are underway. A spokeswoman for North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) says he will not comment on the case.
A state judge in July granted a preliminary injunction that prevents the law from taking effect.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The mayor of a small North Dakota town that a white supremacist targeted for a takeover says residents won’t be happy unless the man sees jail time.
Mayor Ryan Schock tells The Associated Press that people in Leith want Craig Cobb to pay for the ordeal he has put the town through.
Cobb has pleaded not guilty to terrorizing residents with guns in mid-November. A judge has given attorneys three weeks to try to work out a plea deal.
Cobb has been selling off his property in Leith, including his house, though he still owns three properties. Prosecutor Todd Schwarz tells The Bismarck Tribune that Cobb has backed off on his plans to turn Leith into an all-white enclave.
Cobb has not responded to an AP request for an interview.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A woman accused of financial misconduct while operating a state Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle office in Wahpeton is married to a former Richland County sheriff who was removed from office in 2001 by then-Gov. John Hoeven.
Hoeven removed Harlan Muehler from office for illegal spending and inappropriate behavior toward women – actions that had prompted a group of citizens to launch a petition drive for his removal.
Muehler’s 72-year-old wife is now charged with felony misapplication of entrusted property. Authorities allege she can’t account for $100,000 owed to the state from a Motor Vehicle branch office she operated on a contract basis.
Her attorney did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment, and the Muehlers also have not responded to requests for comment.

NEW YORK (AP) – One of baseball’s biggest names has announced that this will be his last year. New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter says he’ll retire after the 2014 season. The 39-year-old missed much of last season because of injuries.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – A measure to extend the government’s borrowing authority is headed toward Senate approval, after overcoming a key hurdle Wednesday. It would let the Treasury Department borrow normally for another 13 months. The House passed the measure Tuesday, with Republicans supplying only a handful of votes.
ATLANTA (AP) – Much of the Southeastern United States is dealing with power outages Wednesday, the result of a storm that has left trees and power lines coated in ice. More than 300,000 homes and businesses are without power, and the number is steadily increasing. In Atlanta, where a storm stranded thousands of people in vehicles just two weeks ago, tens of thousands have lost power. But this time, city roads and interstates are free of traffic.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – A federal judge says Kentucky has to recognize same-sex marriages that were performed in other states. The ruling strikes down part of a state ban on gay marriage. The judge concluded that the government may define marriage and attach benefits to it — but he said it can’t “impose a traditional or faith-based limitation” unless there’s a sufficient justification for it.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama says that in the wealthiest nation on earth, no one who works full time should have to live in poverty. Obama spoke at a White House event before signing an executive order increasing the minimum hourly wage for federal contractors from $7.25 to $10.10. He first announced the measure during his State of the Union address. Because the measure applies only to new contracts, the White House says it will affect just a few hundred thousand workers.
