DETROIT A Michigan judge has sided with Wal-Mart and dismissed a lawsuit by ex-marketing executive Julie Roehm over her firing.

Oakland County circuit judge Denise Langford Morris said Roehm should have sued Wal-Mart in Arkansas, where the retail giant is based.

A Wal-Mart representative welcomed the decision. Roehm’s lawyer said his client is deciding whether to appeal in Michigan or sue in Arkansas.

Roehm is a high-profile advertising executive who was fired in December, less than a year after moving to Wal-Mart from Chrysler.
