There was another development in court concerning the lawsuit (pdf) filed by Arkansas couple Tina and Phillip Sherman against McDonald’s, Matthews Mangement, and the franchise’s manager, Aaron Brummley after nude pictures on a cellphone accidentally left in the Fayetteville McDonald’s were uploaded to the web.
Although the court wouldn’t dismiss the complaint (see Matthews Management’s motion to dismiss [pdf], McDonald’s motion to dismiss [pdf] and the Sherman’s response [pdf]), Washington County Circuit Judge Mary Ann Gunn has now granted McDonald’s motion to sue a franchise employee, Cody Hess. McDonald’s claims that he is the cause of any damages Phillip and Tina Sherman might have experienced.
