Fischer's Lawsuit Is Dismissed
Los Angeles (AP)—The $5 million invasion of privacy lawsuit by Bobby Fischer, chess champion, against an author and publisher has been dismissed by Judge Matt Byrne, of the United States District Court.
Fischer, who acted as his own attorney, accused Brad Darrach, of Time-Life International and Stein and Day Publishers, Inc., of breaking written and oral promises not to disclose details of the former world chess champion's private life.
“I'll not pay a penny of federal income taxes until I get justice in this case,”said Fischer after Byrne acted Thursday. Earlier, Byrne said Fischer had shown “almost intentional disregard for rules of discovery” in pretrial proceedings. Darrach wrote the book, “Bobby Fischer versus the Rest of the World.”
