The suit by author Rodello H. Hunter against the LDS Church was settled last week with the payment to Hunter of a 'nominal amount.' LDS Church spokesman Dale Bills did not disclose details of the agreement and Hunter's attorney's couldn't be reached for comment.

Hunter had sued the LDS Church in 1997. In the suit she claimed that the LDS Church violated an agreement that allowed the Church to stage a play based on her book, "A House of Many Rooms." The book is the tale of a large Mormon family. The agreement allowed the LDS Church to stage plays based on the book for a period of time. Hunter alleged that the play was performed by local units of the Church after the agreement had expired.
