Suit Against Above the Law Vountarily Dismissed by Plaintiff

[WSJ_law_blog]

Well, what a strange little turn of events.

Donald Jones, the University of Miami law professor who last week filed suit against Above the Law editor David Lat and others, alleging harm arising out of a series of posts the site did about Jones, has voluntarily dismissed the suit.

Click here for the dismissal notice; here for ATL’s post on the news; here for Tuesday’s LB post on the suit.

You’ll recognize that the dismissal notice is terse; it gives no rationale for the dismissal. Could it have had to do with the rather unflattering reception Jones got from the legal pundocracy? Curious, we called Jones and left a message, but have yet to hear back. We’ll of course let you know if we do.

That is a bogus suit!
