On January 23, the Obama for America campaign indicated they would file a notice of voluntary dismissal before the January 30 deadline. Upon receiving the notice, Judge Conlon granted the dismissal and canceled the hearing scheduled for last Monday.
The case had originally been filed in Chicago, hometown of the Obama for America campaign. The lawyer for Washington Promotions & Printing, which operates out of the greater D.C. area., requested the case be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, meaning the courts in Illinois had no judicial power over a business in another state. This motion led to the plaintiff's voluntary dismissal this week.
