Swartz v. Doe, No. 08C431 (Tenn. Dist. Ct., Davidson County filed Feb. 11. 2008).
Status: Motion to dismiss pending

Don and Terry Swartz sued the anonymous owner and posters on the “Stop Swartz” blog (stopswartz.blogspot.com), which accuses the couple of “ruining” the Old Hickory neighborhood of Nashville, Tenn. The Swartzes sell homes in the community through their web site, www.oldhickoryvillage.org; Don Swartz is also secretary of the Historic Old Hickory Village Neighborhood Association. In March 2009, the court indicated that it was sympathetic to motions to quash the effort to reveal the anonymous posters and to dismiss the case entirely.
