KinderStart Suit Officially Frivolous

The KinderStart case against Google over search rankings has been dismissed as frivolous and the KinderStart attorney will face sanctions requiring him to pay some of Google's legal fees. The amount has yet to be determined. The case was originally dismissed last year, but the company was given a chance to try again. This goes towards setting the standard that you can't sue a search engine because you have a bad search ranking.

Eric Goldman has copies of the decisions dismissing the case and granting sanctions.
