ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has quietly dropped his lawsuit against the social networking site Twitter.
A one-paragraph statement filed June 26 with the U.S. District Court in San Francisco said La Russa dropped all claims - and San Francisco-based Twitter did not compensate him in exchange. It also said he could not refile the same complaint.
Calls and e-mails to La Russa's attorney, Gregory McCoy, and to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, were not returned Tuesday. Twitter attorney Rodger Cole said in an e-mail that he was not authorized to discuss the case.
