Interesting, the law firm representing her is Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe

Her "injuries" seem worse than you might expect to find in a soldier recently returned from combat in Afghanistan!!

This is clearly about $$$ and lawyers grabbing some spotlight.

As to that Federal Judges' decisions--we all know they can do pretty much whatever they want. Lifetime appointments and answerable only to OTHER Federal Judges--

Aha, more proof! How dare he! I say we cook that duck!
However, he might try to cook himself in that chef outfit...

Isn't the requirement that Donald's friends are pretty much always women, due to the height requirements?

Exactly. Most of the people who are "Mouse height" which is the Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy height are women. It's kind of difficult to find men that short. The comments about the gloves being thick and the mammograms makes sense too. This woman is ridiculous and wasting court time just like so many others.

the course should slap people like this with very high court costs when they lose....they are just ridiculous....

Smoking Gun is now reporting that this lawsuit has been settled.

Thank you for the update. Here are the first two sentences from that report: "The Pennsylvania woman who alleged that she was fondled by Donald Duck during a visit to Epcot Center in Florida has settled her lawsuit against Disney, federal court records show.

April Magolon’s complaint, filed last August against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, was formally dismissed today by Judge John Padova in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia."

If this is correct, congratulations to the Disney lawyers.

I am pretty sure Disney has bought her silence.....

Man, I was hoping they would have fought this one....I wonder what the video evidence showed?

MAY 12--The Pennsylvania woman who alleged that she was fondled by Donald Duck during a visit to Epcot Center in Florida has settled her lawsuit against Disney, federal court records show.

April Magolon’s complaint, filed last August against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, was formally dismissed today by Judge John Padova in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia. The judicial order came a day after lawyers for the parties reported that the matter had been settled. Magolon’s attorney, Michael Pansini, sought dismissal of the lawsuit “with prejudice,” meaning that the action could not be refiled.

The court filings do not disclose settlement terms, which presumably included a payment to Magolon, a 28-year-old Upper Darby resident. The settlement came prior to Magolon or Disney filing motions or pretrial memorandums in the case, which involved claims of negligence, battery, and infliction of emotional distress.

According to her complaint, Magolon (pictured at right) was visiting Epcot with her children and fiancé in May 2008 when she was groped by a Disney employee dressed like Donald Duck as she sought an autograph. After the incident, Magolon charged, Donald Duck made gestures “indicating he had done something wrong.” Magolon’s complaint sought in exceess of $50,000 in damages.

chip and dale paid a visit to her house to convince her to drop the case i am sure two chipmunks showing up at her house would scare her into dropping it. My be they thought if they did that they could bump goofy and donald out of the fab five and they would know be main character and not filler ones as some people think they are.
