SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Attorneys for the lead plaintiff, James Webb, filed a voluntary dismissal in the class action securities lawsuit against Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) on August 7, 2018.

Prior to the dismissal, the plaintiffs were required to file an amended complaint on August 7, 2018 as a result of a scheduling order in the case. Rather than filing that amended complaint, the plaintiffs elected to file the dismissal.

In response to the dismissal, Overstock.com CEO Patrick M. Byrne said, “I commend the maturity and class of the plaintiff’s class action firm. They filed a lawsuit, but apparently when they did enough research to realize there was nothing to it, they moved on. Of how many law firms may that be said?”
