The owners of Wtechlink in Pendleton are resolving their dispute for control of the company outside the courtroom.

Jordan McDonald, the minority owner of the Pendleton Internet company, dropped his lawsuit late last year against his business partner and majority owner Byron Wysocki, according to Umatilla County Circuit Court Records.

Wysocki did not return a call seeking comment. McDonald declined to comment.

McDonald sued Wysocki in 2013 for control of the company. A source familiar with the situation reported Wysocki is buying out McDonald’s share of Wtechlink.

Wysocki and another business partner also reached a civil deal and avoided prosecution for theft in a separate case.

Wysocki and Mason Murphy own the Pendleton bar 40 Taps. The pair faced first-degree theft charges for taking doors from the old St. Anthony Hospital demolition site on Southeast Court Avenue at the beginning of October 2014 and installing them at their bar at 337 S.W. Emigrant Ave., on the block next to Pendleton City Hall.

The doors were worth about $4,600, according to Pendleton Police Chief Stuart Roberts. Attorney Dean Gushwa of Pendleton represented the two entrepreneurs and confirmed Tuesday his clients and the demolition company with an interest in the doors reached a civil compromise in late December 2015.

“We gave them some money for the trouble,” Gushwa said, and the court agreed to that and dismissed the criminal case. Gushwa said courts tend to go along with the parties in those situations.

“The doors are back [at the bar],” he said, “and everyone’s happy.”
