Nutt retreats to fight another day against Rebels.

Former Ole Miss Head Football Coach Houston Nutt's lawsuit against the university was dismissed today in U.S. District Court.  Mr. Nutt sued Ole Miss and the Institutions of Higher Learning on July 12 for breach of contract that occurred when Coach Hugh Freeze and Athletic Director Ross Bjork allegedly defamed him in conversations with the media.


 Ole Miss moved to dismiss the case two weeks ago.  Ole Miss argued the federal court had no jurisdiction over the lawsuit since the defendants were state agencies and thus had immunity under the eleventh amendment.  Mr. Nutt agreed with Ole Miss in a response today.  Since there was no subject matter jurisdiction due to the lack of a federal claim, Judge Neal Biggers dismissed the case.

However, sources told this website that Mr. Nutt will file his breach of contract lawsuit in state court.

And this is a 'win' for Ole Miss? Think I would have much rather been in federal court - N MS in Oxford - than in State Court. Hinds County Chancery (sans Dwayne Thomas) cannot be nearly as friendly a confine.

Is this the same court that found "Robert Schuler Smith" innocent?

Based on Mars' statement after the dismissal, it looks like someone needed to a avoid a Rule 11 violation.

Brings into question the credibility of Nutt's attorney. You goobs need to stop acting as if this were intentional on the part of the Nutt camp.

I believe that the Severance Agreement specifically requires anything to be filed in Lafayette County (not Hinds - as one would often suspect of a suit with the State as a defendant).

Other than illustrating that Nutt's attorney may not be the legal genius that some had believed, the biggest "win" here for Ole Miss is that this will get stretched out past Ole Miss' hearing before the NCAA Committee on Infractions. The best leverage that Nutt had was threatening to depose Freeze and Bjork and having access to every Freeze's cell phone records. Who knows what they could have found?

Who cares about the $500,000 ? We have already recovered this by not paying Hugh since his dismissal (excuse me, resignation).Why do we keep kicking this rusty can down the road? Is it that our pride and feelings are hurt? This was the worst handling by arrogant WE ARE OLE MISS delusional zealots I have ever experienced. Maybe our law school need to add a course teaching handling awkward situations without killing the program.

Ben, you should have been found guilty on multiple counts.
Consider yourself lucky.

8:38, it isn't the $500k that's stopping us, its the admission that we divulged confidential information from NCAA. As if we haven't been digging the hole deeper for ourselves, we might as well call and rent a trackhoe so we can dig deeper and faster once we make that admission.

@ 8:43 - For some reason, I thought it was the "victim" rather than some random other person who gets to decide whether that "victim" is actually a "victim". If that "victim" says "NO, he did NOT steal from me", why is that not enough evidence for you that he did not, in fact, steal anything from said "victim"??????

Lafayette Chancery Court judges:

Judge Glenn Alderson
Alumnus of UM Law

Judge Robert Q. Whitwell
Alumnus of UM Law; class of 72

Conflict of interest much by requiring the filing in Lafayette county? Impartiality? LOL. Let's not even talk about the jury pool.

any idiots who think nutt's lawyer is in over his head against the all-knowing, all powerful ole miss lawyers need to think again! tom mars is in a different league and his team does not rely on tactics like bribing judges, judge-shopping, filing fake lawsuits in order to depose a kid to obtain information for another case, etc. check out this article linked below and also take a look at the articles linked therein below in red for a good timeline of this evidentiary unravelling....

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).

Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.

In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
