UMG v. Lindor Ends, No Fees, No Sanctions

Posted by kdawson on from the attempting-graceful-extrication dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The 5-year-old case of UMG Recordings v. Lindor (which we've discussed all those years) has come to a close in Brooklyn, without ever reaching the deposition and document production of MediaSentry. The District Judge denied the RIAA's motions for discovery sanctions but granted the RIAA's motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice and without attorneys fees, adopting the report and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge."

    It's nice to know that a judge can stick you for doing your job.

    What the fuck is "unduly contentious"? Shouldn't a lawyer work harder when up against a more formidable foe than "Joe's Garage and Automobile Recycling?"

    "You successfully wore down the representatives of a large monopoly. We can't have that. You and your client must be punished"
