According to CNYcentral.com, a US federal judge dismissed POISON singer Bret Michaels' civil suit against a Syracuse area promoter over a cancelled appearance by Michaels at the Central New York Regional Market in August 2010.
Michaels said at the time that he didn't find out the concert was cancelled until his tour bus arrived at the Regional Market on the day of the show. Bret Michaels filed a $5 million dollar lawsuit against promoter Michael Banks and his company Aloha Events LLC for breaching their contract.
In 2011, U.S. District Judge David Hurd issued a default judgment against Aloha Events and the company was ordered to pay Bret Michaels $95,000. Aloha Events also made an agreement with the New York State Attorney General to refund money to everyone who bought tickets to the cancelled show.
Michaels' attorneys then filed suit against promoter Michael Banks, asking the court to hold him personally responsible for the $95,000 judgment.
