Jeffrey V. Merkey v. The Internet et al

 
This page is my repository of documents and information related to Jeff Merkey's suit against several parties, including myself and at least one named, registered user of this site. As of 8/15/2005, all court documents have been obtained from other web sites compiling this information or directly from PACER. Should I ever be served or the suit somehow manages to actually proceed against me or any users of this site, I'll also post any materials I directly receive or generate here. I hope to also provide a spot for useful information, evidence, etc., to be maintained as well.

Thanks!
Jeff
