e360Insight LLC, et al. v. Ferguson, et al. (II) [DISMISSED]

On May 14, 2007, e360Insight LLC and David Linhardt filed a state court action in Cook County Circuit Court (Civil Division) against Mark Ferguson, Susan Wilson (a/k/a Susan Gunn), Rob Saecker (a/k/a Fudo), Rich Tietjens (a/k/a Morely Dotes), William Silverstein, and Tim Skirvin (a/k/a Screwtape III).

Your faithful scribe had been watching Cook County Circuit Court (Chancery Division) instead, and so we apologize for the delay in getting this case to you.

According to at least one press report, this lawsuit is an attempt to prove that the Spamhaus Project does business in the United States. If so, this lawsuit is rather ill-fated.

I probably have more Spamhaus ties than several of the defendants do. Ooo! Maybe that means that Mr. Linhardt will be suing this site next.

Alas, it appears that the star-struck lawsuit is gone with the following entry in the Clerk's docket:

Activity Date: 8/30/2007 Participant: E360 INSIGHT
VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL W/LEAVE TO REFILE-ALLOWED
Judge: QUINN, THOMAS P.

This lawsuit may come back since leave to refile was granted.

Can't refile

FWIW, according to my lawyers, under Illinios law the suit cannot be refiled, having now been dismissed in both Federal and State courts.
