Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is asking a state court in Michigan to dismiss a lawsuit by former marketing executive Julie Roehm over her December firing, arguing that Roehm should have filed the case in Arkansas, where she lives and where Wal-Mart is headquartered. A federal judge in Michigan has already declined to take over the civil lawsuit. Roehm filed a breach of contract and fraud claim in her former home state of Michigan, alleging Wal-Mart owes her severance pay that could total $1.5 million.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is asking a state court in Michigan to dismiss a lawsuit by former marketing executive Julie Roehm over her firing, arguing that Roehm should have filed the case in Arkansas, where she lives and where Wal-Mart is headquartered.
Wal-Mart spokesman John Simley said Friday that Wal-Mart filed the motion last week after a federal judge in Michigan declined to take over the civil lawsuit and sent it back to a state trial court there.
