Andy Martin's (aka Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona) Lawsuit Against Washington Post is Dismissed by Judge.

Judge Jeanne E. Scott on 2/10/2010 dismissed a $225,000 lawsuit filed by Andy Martin against the Washington Post and several other defendants for Martin's failure to abide with a previous injunction requiring Martin to list all his previous history of litigation when filing any lawsuits.  The order reads:

TEXT ORDER: The following Motions are ALLOWED: Combined Motion and Supporting Memorandum of Defendant Daniel Morse to Dismiss this Action for Plaintiff's Violation of Injunction Order Requiring Plaintiff to Disclose His Pro Se Litigation History (d/e 3); Defendant Daniel Morse's Rule 12 Motion to Dismiss or, in the Alternative, Motion to Transfer Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404 and to Defer Briefing on this Motion (d/e 4); Motion to Quash Service of Summons and to Dismiss Complaint for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (d/e 7); Combined Motion and Supporting Memorandum of Defendant Montgomery County to Dismiss this Action for Plaintiff's Violation of Injunction Order Requiring Plaintiff to Disclose His Pro Se Litigation History (d/e 9); Defendant Montgomery County's Rule 12 Motion to Dismiss or, In the Alternative, Motion to Transfer Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404 and to Defer Briefing on this Motion (d/e 10); Defendant Scott Shirley's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (d/e 12); and Defendant John Gilchrist's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (d/e 13). This Court ordered Plaintiff to respond to these Motions; however, he has not done so, and so, he is deemed to have no opposition to the Motions.

All claims against Defendants Daniel Morse and Montgomery County, Maryland, are dismissed with prejudice.

Defendants Morse, Montgomery County, Maryland, Shirley, and Gilchrist are dismissed from this action. The Motion of Defendant Daniel Morse for Order Granting Leave to David P. Sanders and Wade R.
