Price v. Moore, No. 07CVS746 (N.C. Super. Ct., Rockingham County filed April 20, 2007).
Status: Withdrawn by plaintiff

During the 2006 election, there was a police report that Rockingham County, N.C. school board candidate Ron Price had been seen removing campaign signs for Congressman Brad Miller, a Democrat. Price, who won his own election, was not charged. But former school board candidate Richard Moore, who publishes his own newspaper (The Neely Chronicle), maintains the “Rockingham Tattler” website (http://politicalsoup.tv), and hosts a television show on local politics, allegedly claimed in each of these venues that Price was a “thief” and a “crook.” Price filed suit against Moore and his wife, seeking a restraining order and $140,000 in damages. He withdrew the suit in January 2008.
