Was the lawsuit filed by a particular Connecticut marathon cutter turned correctional institution inmate against LetsRun last year thrown out of court? I see links about it online but I don't have a PACER subscription to read it.

Plaintiff dismissed all her claims with prejudice back in August before anyone answered. I suspect Brojos hired counsel who sent the plaintiff a letter informing her that they would seek attorney's fees if she did not dismiss with prejudice asap.

Would they ever have been able to seek attorney's fees? That's usually pretty rare, does the jurisdiction in which she was suing permit it by statute (for what I would assume to be "frivolous" claims)? Perhaps it was the threat of Rule 11 sanctions...
It sounded frivolous -- she was trying to trademark her name or some silly stuff like that. Glad it was withdrawn.
I have a PACER login. What was the state and full name of one of the parties?

It was in Federal court. Rule 11 sanctions are available. There are also provisions in the copyright statute that allow the judge discretion to award attorney's fees to the prevailing party.
