The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/15/15-60205-CV0.pdf">has dismissed the Google lawsuit against Attorney General Jim Hood.
The 5th Circuit struck down a lower court's injunction that prevented Attorney General Jim Hood from enforcing the administrative subpoena or bringing any civil or criminal action against Google “for making accessible third-party content to internet users.” The 5th Circuit said that Google's case against Hood should be remanded to the lower court and dismissed as well as the preliminary injunction removed.
The Court did not rule on the merits of Hood's subpoena, which sought "sought information on Google’s platforms, advertising practices, and knowledge of and efforts to police 'dangerous' or 'illegal' content such as prescription or illicit drug sales, drug abuse, credit card leaks, fraudulent identification documents, human trafficking, and copyright infringement."
AG Hood will hold a press conference today at 1:30 p.m. to discuss the lawsuit.
