La Russa drops lawsuit against Twitter
St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has quietly dropped his lawsuit against the social networking site Twitter Inc., the Associated Press is reporting.
A one-paragraph statement filed June 26 with the U.S. District Court in San Francisco said La Russa had dropped all claims and that San Francisco-based Twitter did not compensate him in exchange. It also said he could not refile the same complaint.
La Russa’s lawsuit, originally filed in San Francisco Superior Court in May and transferred to federal court on June 5, alleged trademark infringement, “cybersquatting” and misappropriation of his name. It claimed an unauthorized page that used his name caused emotional distress by making light of his DUI charge and the deaths of two Cardinals pitchers in recent seasons.
