	CSICOP / News / Uri Geller Libel Suit Dismissed
		In a pre-suit settlement demand, Geller's lawyers had demanded as a "full and final" position that all references to him be deleted from both books, that full-page apologies be published in several metropolitan newspapers, and that he be paid one million dollars.
		On February 4, 1994 the court issued an Order of Dismissal that instructed Geller to reimburse the Prometheus defendants for costs and reasonable attorney's fees in the amount of $49,148.92 within 30 days, as a condition imposed upon Geller's voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice (allowing similar lawsuits to be pursued elsewhere).
		Geller, however, failed to pay the $49,148.92 in fees and costs, and, as the court had warned, the voluntary dismissal was judicially converted to one with prejudice (effectively barring Geller from prosecuting the suit in any other jurisdiction) and imposing a new sanctions award of $20,272.89, the costs incurred by defendants after April 12, 1993.
