Remember the infamous handwritten lawsuit against Google from last year?
The one where the guy accused Google of revealing his social security
number through a bizarre coded algorithm that involved the Philadelphia
76ers basketball team? Luckily, that lawsuit was quickly thrown out of
court, but amazingly, the guy appealed. Eric Goldman now informs us
that the appeal has now also
been thrown out as the court notes: "Google and its founders are not
state actors, and Jayne's allegation concerning his coded social security
number does not constitute a violation of the Constitution or federal
law." Indeed. While the lawsuits have been getting tossed rather
quickly, lawsuits like these do still clog the court system and waste
plenty of taxpayer dollars. In the meantime, in case you missed it the first time, here's one of the handwritten filings in the lawsuit.
