Fraud Case vs. X Over Unpaid Bills Is Dismissed With Prejudice

A stipulation of dismissal is “self-effectuating” without the need for a court order, and Cresa Global v. Twitter and X Corp. is dismissed with prejudice by action of the parties’ joint stipulation of dismissal Sunday (docket 3:23-cv-04642), said a text-only notice Wedneday in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. Each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees. Real estate firm Cresa alleged in a September complaint that a drop in revenue from advertisers alienated by X owner Elon Musk’s “moderation decisions” after he bought Twitter caused “extreme belt-tightening” that led the company to stop paying several vendors whose services it was using (see 2309120066).
