The Town of North Hempstead has moved to dismiss a lawsuit from ExteNet Systems.

The wireless infrastructure provider, which had been contracted by Verizon Wireless to build nodes across the North Shore, alleged in the suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in January, that the town's council failed to act on the company's applications within a "reasonable" time frame when the town did not act on its 16 applications for cell nodes in unincorporated areas of Port Washington.
