Foul-Mouthed Patron Drops LawsuitA patron who sued the Ann Arbor (Mich.) District Library after being banned for using obscene language has dropped his federal lawsuit.In a December 6 letter to U.S. District Judge George Caram Steeh, author Fredric Maxwell asked that his case be dismissed because he no longer lives in Ann Arbor, the Ann Arbor News reported December 8. Maxwell said he did not have the “time, resources, or inclination to continue returning from the California sun to the Michigan snow to be an unpaid change agent for a town where I used to live.” The library, which had motioned to dismiss the case, claimed that Maxwell’s library privileges had not been suspended because of obscene language but for “loud and disruptive behavior, verbal abuse of library staff, and refusal to abide by the library’s computer policy.” Posted December 10, 2004. |
