Weeks after the seemingly never-ending quest to get his seized cellphone back from the feds suffered a mortal wound at the U.S. Supreme Court, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has finally agreed to dismiss the lawsuit he filed against FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. Technically, however, there is still a chance that Lindell’s claims may be brought again.

U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota on Tuesday docketed an order of dismissal noting that the opposing parties had agreed to throw out the case — but “without prejudice,” meaning the case isn’t necessarily gone forever:

Based on the Stipulation for Dismissal without Prejudice filed by Plaintiffs Michael J. Lindell and MyPillow, Inc., and Defendants United States of America, Attorney General Merrick Garland, the United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota, and FBI Director Christopher Wray, ECF No. 93, IT IS ORDERED that the action is DISMISSED without prejudice, and without costs, disbursements, or attorneys’ fees to any party.

While there is at least some reason to believe that reviving the suit may not be feasible for reasons not having to do with the law, Lindell’s failure to sway the justices to take up his cause was devastating to his case.
