Feb 7, 2023 2:17 AM

Baltimore Orioles CEO John Angelos and his brother Lou Angelos have agreed to end their fight over a lawsuit in which Lou accused John of seizing control of the team in defiance of their father Peter Angelos' wishes.

Lou sued John last year, claiming John took control of the Orioles at his expense. Georgia Angelos, their mother, also was named as a defendant.

In a Friday court filing in the case, John, Lou, Georgia and Peter called on "all claims, including all counterclaims and defenses, asserted therein be dismissed with prejudice in their entirety."
