, over a now-infamous New Year's Eve 2005/6 party during which booze ran out fast, art was stolen and partygoers demanded refunds. DiMeo later countersued Kabir. "This matter is now fully resolved. There will be no further comment from the parties involved," said Le Jardin attorney

, speaking for both parties. Di-Meo had also sued blogger
Tucker Max
for libel/defamation of character after several postings mocked DiMeo with various levels of profanity and crude humor about the party. We reported in September that the U.S. Court of Appeals Third Circuit dismissed DiMeo's motion to reverse a lower court's dismissal of that suit.
