FunnyJunk Attorney Charles Carreon Drops Lawsuit Against Oatmeal Creator

theoatmeal logoCharles Carreon, the attorney with thethe infamous lawsuit against The Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman, has withdrawn the suit.The news was announced by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which also posted Inman's "notice of voluntary dismissal". (I would embed the document below, but there's basically no text, aside from "plaintiff dismisses the action.") The EFF was representing Inman in the lawsuit, and the announcement included this statement from Senior Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl:
"Matthew Inman spoke out against Carreon's threat of a frivolous lawsuit, in a very popular and very public way.This was nothing more than a meritless attempt to punish Inman for calling attention to his legal bullying. We called him out on this in our briefs, so it's no surprise that Carreon was left with no choice but to dismiss."
