The New York Times Co. has been dropped from a proposed federal class action alleging the company, Dow Jones & Co. and Forbes Inc. turned a blind eye to ripoffs perpetrated on their publications’ subscribers in a billing scam.
A stipulation filed August 18 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York showed putative class action plaintiff Stephen Rabin agreed to voluntarily dismiss, with prejudice, The New York Times from Rabin v. The New York Times. There was no elaboration in court documents beyond the brief stipulation.
