City of Memphis, Tennessee v. Does, No. ________ (Tenn. Chan. Ct. filed July 10, 2008).
Status: Withdrawn.

Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin and the city of Memphis sued the anonymous blogger(s) of the MPD Enforcer 2.0 blog (mpdenforcer20.blogspot.com), which had been critical of Godwin and the Memphis police department, and posted a picture of an undercover officer. The plaintiffs then subpoenaed AOL to determine the identity the blogger(s). As the case proceeded, it came out that a photo of the undercover officer was also posted on the police department’s own site. The case was later dropped.
