Jack Thompson’s Kotaku suit shot down, will re-file case

Jack Thompson - Image 1As an updated to our previous post, the complaint that Jack Thompson filed yesterday was turned down by Federal District Court Judge Paul Huck on the basis of having (as GamePolitics reports) “failed to follow the proper federal court procedure for amending a complaint.”

From yesterday’s report, we learned that Thompson had amended online blog Kotaku and its parent company Gawker Media onto the lawsuit he had filed earlier.

To further quote GamePolitics:

For his part, Thompson admits his mistake and pleads ignorance […], citing distractions he says were caused today by the Florida Bar and an unnamed game website which published his home address and phone number.

Furthermore, it’s also been reported that Thompson would raise the issue once again and re-file the amendment to the case – this time, following the rules and other courtroom procedures.
