Again in August 2021, Spencer Elden – the person who, as a four-month-old child, was photographed bare for the quilt of Nirvana’s Nevermind LP – sued the band for possessing and distributing “industrial baby pornography” that resulted in Elden “undergo[ing] lifelong damages.” Now, the grievance has been dismissed for a 3rd and closing time as a result of its statute of limitations ran out.
This previous Friday (Sept. 2), U.S. District Courtroom Decide Fernando M. Olguin dominated that Elden waited too lengthy to concern his lawsuit, successfully ending the year-long dispute and stopping Elden from making an attempt once more for a fourth time.

In response, Bert Deixler – a lawyer for Nirvana – instructed Reuters: “We’re happy that this meritless case has been delivered to a speedy closing conclusion.”
After Elden’s unique go well with was rejected (as a result of he missed a deadline to reply to Nirvana’s request to dismiss), he re-filed in January 2022. Unsurprisingly, the band’s authorized crew grew more and more impatient with him, claiming that “no modification is feasible to salvage [his] declare. . . . In his ever-shrinking pleading, Elden has now dismissed all however one of many myriad state and federal regulation claims he beforehand tried to cost towards defendants.”
