I'm wondering if this bit about the strategic lawsuit against public

Update on Internet Brands v. Holliday
Posted by Geoff Brigham on November 19th, 2012
Today Ryan Holliday, a Wikimedia volunteer, appeared in federal court to
argue the anti-SLAPP motion he filed on September 26, 2012. Because
Internet Brands abandoned its claim under the federal Lanham Act (the
federal claim that asserted Ryan had helped to start a new travel wiki
called Wiki Travel Guide), the court found no basis for continuing to
keep federal jurisdiction over the case and dismissed it without ruling
on the anti-SLAPP motion.
It is unclear whether Internet Brands will try to start over again and
attempt to sue in state court, but for now, this case is gone. The court
is expected to issue a written order shortly, which we will post here.
Geoff Brigham, General Counsel
