Fullerton Settles Lawsuit with Bloggers Who Accessed Private Documents
The City of Fullerton ended a longstanding lawsuit May 12 against a local blog and two of its contributors.
The case dates back to 2019 when Joshua Ferguson and David Curlee of Friends for Fullerton’s Future blog reportedly posted confidential documents that showed the city engaging in questionable conduct.
In response, the city issued a cease-and-desist letter to have the documents taken down, and when the orders weren’t followed, the city sued to have all documents returned to city hall. It also obtained a restraining order to prevent more documents from being publicly posted, although it was overturned shortly after.
