Roberts v. Google
Mark Roberts claimed breach of
contract, in part because of Google's add URL feature and help pages supposedly
formed a promise that his pages should be top ranked. After Google threatened to
file an anti-SLAPP motion against him, a means of effectively getting the court
to agree that the case is without merit and recovering costs, he
voluntarily dismissed the complaint without prejudice.
Roberts v. Google, No.
