UPDATE: March 12 at 1 p.m.
Elijah Jarvis has withdrawn his restraining order injunction against London Mayor Randall Weddle and the City of London as the issue has "been resolved," according to a motion to withdraw document.
The injunction was in connection to evidence that tied Jarvis to Doug Phelps which was expunged in court.
A "stipulation of facts and agreed" order says the parties agreed on the following:
- The City of London "does not possess any records" from the case of Doug Phelps.
- Upon a search through records, files, police records, and court documents related to the case, it was determined that the City of London "does not possess any such records."
- That any documents in relation to the case that were possessed by Weddle "were not obtained from the City of London."
- Any documents from the case, "unless part of the litigation, shall not be possessed on City of London property, by any employee, agent, or elected official."
The documents have been seen and agreed upon by the attorney for Jarvis and the attorney for the City of London and Weddle.
Notably, a hearing in the case is still scheduled to take place on April 15.
Original Story:
Elijah Jarvis has filed an amended lawsuit against London Mayor Randall Weddle, the City of London, and Weddle's attorney Jeremy Bryant, claiming that "false accusations were made against him during a press conference on Feb. 27."
According to the lawsuit, Jarvis claims that "Weddle and Bryant's actions were intentional and reckless" and were made to "defame and injure his reputation."
Jarvis has been outspoken about the shooting and death of Doug Harless, and claims that "officials from The City of London tampered with his open records request of the shooting of Doug Harless" and that he has "been forcibly removed from a city meeting... over heated discussions regarding the shooting".
The suit argues that Weddle, paired with the ability to link Jarvis and his criticisms of the death of Harless through a Google search, "wantonly and recklessly asserts that Plaintiff has engaged in providing child pornography, to silence (Jarvis) as a critic."
That group allegedly includes Doug Phelps, the brother of Johnny and Jimmy Phelps, who are also suing Weddle. The suit also claimed that Weddle stated or inferred that Jarvis was part of a "pedo clan," and that both statements were false and meant to defame Jarvis.
