Courts - Updating: Anonymous commenter turns out to be judge's daughter

Updating yesterday's ILB entry, Cleveland's WKYC has a report that begins:

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold and her daughter, Sydney, filed a $50 million lawsuit Wednesday afternoon against the Plain Dealer and Advance Internet, according to attorney Brian D. Spitz. The lawsuit has been initially assigned to Judge Janet Burnside.

Spitz says the complaint alleges that "The Plain Dealer, its editor Susan Goldberg, and unknown reporters conspired with the entities that controlled the confidential registration information...to release information that was promised to be anonymous," stated a release from The Spitz Law Firm LLC.

Here is the complaint and press release posted by the law firm.
