The Lowe’s filed paperwork last Friday, asking the Superior Court of Santa Barbara to dismiss the suit they filed against Peter Clements, according to the court filing obtained by Access Hollywood. No reason was specified in the court documents for the request, but People.com reported Clements gave the couple information they asked for. “Once Peter Clements provided Rob and Sheryl Lowe with accurate information, the Lowes willingly dismissed their claims against him without cost to either side,” additional papers obtained by People read. The Lowes requested the dismissal with prejudice, which prohibits them from reopening the lawsuit in the future.
