Modest Mouse Settles Lawsuit
As previously reported, Modest Mouse was
facing a lawsuit from a victim of the
chaos that occurred at a 1991 charity
basketball game (read story here). The
tables have now turned in favor of Modest
Mouse, as the lawsuit was settled out of court.
The plaintiff, Nicole Levy, was suing
Modest Mouse for $2 million because she sustained a
thyroid disorder after she was hurt at
the charity event. Earlier this month Modest Mouse
offered $50,000 as a settlement, but Levy
felt "insulted" by the offer.
Yesterday, they settled the suit out of
for court for an unspecified amount. "It
remains that Nicole Levy's case is
without merit," said Modest Mouse's lawyer, Luke Pittoni,
in a statement. "Rather than have
protracted litigation, we have come to an
acceptable resolution and are very
pleased with the outcome."
