He dismissed the County's motion for summary judgment, but left the News-Sentinel's motion for summary judgment pending.

Is he sending a message to the County? Like, for instance, "if I were you guys, I'd be talking to Rick Hollow and seeing what kind of deal I could get, because the other shoe still has to come down"?

In other words, he rejected the County's motion to resolve the case as a matter of law. He could have disposed of the News-Sentinel's motion either by granting or denying it, but chose not to do so, which is a little unusual. This could be because he wanted to give the county an opportunity to cut a deal on a losing hand, rather than having him make a ruling which might reopen all or portions of the January 31 can of worms.
