Rodriguez died in May 2007 after going to the troubled Martin Luther King-Harbor Hospital. She had been seen at the hospital several times during the month before and despite yelling in pain was not seen by medical staff.
She died of a perforated bowel shortly after she was arrested inside the hospital on an outstanding warrant on a parole violation.
Casco says the lawsuit against the county was dismissed Monday.
