Thompson Kotaku Suit Dismissed 28

So, just yesterday we discussed Thompson's suit filed again Kotaku. Just as quickly as it came, it went. "Federal District Court Judge Paul Huck has dismissed a complaint filed Wednesday against Gawker Media, parent company of the popular Kotaku game blog. In his ruling, Judge Huck wrote that controversial attorney Jack Thompson had failed to follow the proper federal court procedure for amending a complaint." As the story says, "So, how's that Law 101 class going?"

    I'm curious what percentages of civil cases DON'T follow producure to the letter but they go ahead anyway.

    I mean, Kotaku was appended onto the case that's originally Jack Thomspon vs. a whole bunch of entities (including the Florida BAR). Maybe the judge was just looking for ony slip up, any slip up, regardless of how minor, in order to toss it and avoid extending this debaucle.
