From today's notice of dismissal, filed by the plaintiff's lawyerin Hook v. Rave:
On October 3, defendants wisely abandoned their notice of intention to terminate Professor Hook for his First Amendment protected speech about a matter of substantial public interest. Defendants have returned Professor Hook to his full duties, and have not punished him in any way, nor do they seek to punish him in any way. So Professor Hook has received the relief he sought in this lawsuit, which makes this case moot. Accordingly, Professor Hook hereby dismisses it without prejudice in accordance with F. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
Here's my post about an earlier court decision in the case:
