Plaintiff Dropping Case in Which He Got Order to Google to Vanish Photo from Search Results

Posted on August 14, 2018June 25, 2025 by Dissent

Eugene Volokh writes:

As I wrote on Aug. 3, a New Jersey state court (in Malandrucco v. Google) issued an order requiring Google to remove the photograph of the plaintiff from its search results. Also, in a parallel case (Malandrucco v. Chicago Tribune), the plaintiff was seeking an order requiring the Chicago Tribune to take down a blog post about the plaintiff that also included that photograph. The judge orally stated at the hearing that he was indeed ordering the Tribune to do so, but the written order didn’t reflect that.

You can read more details about that order (including links to the underlying documents) here. The short version of the legal analysis is “the order was clearly unconstitutional.” The short version of the facts is that the photo was a picture of plaintiff after he had been beaten by the police in 2010; he then sued the city, successfully, and became an anti-police-brutality activist, but around 2016 concluded that he wanted the stories about him, as well as the photo, removed.
