You folks might remember the earlier post on Tawney Peaks ... well, here is the update to that case just in off the newswire from Reuters:

Dancer's breasts did not hurt Florida man - TV judge


TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - A topless dancer hit a nightclub patron with her ample breasts, but did not injure him, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch ruled in a ''People's Court'' trial of the clubgoer's personal injury lawsuit.
Koch heard the case in New York City Wednesday and deliberated about 20 minutes before ruling in favor of dancer Tawny Peaks and the Diamond Dolls nightclub, the Tampa Tribune said.
During the trial Koch instructed court officer Josephine Longobardi to take Peaks into his chambers and examine her breasts to see if they were as hard as plaintiff Paul Shimkonis testified.
''They were not as dense as the plaintiff described. They
were soft,'' the newspaper quoted Harvey Levin, co-executive producer and host of the show, as saying.
Longobardi told the judge she estimated they weighed about 2 pounds each and were 20 percent silicone and the rest natural.
Shimkonis had described Peaks' breasts as being ''like two
cement blocks.''
Shimkonis filed suit against the club in Pinellas county Court in Florida on June 29, claiming the dancer injured him during a performance at the Clearwater bar during his bachelor party in September 1996. The lawsuit said she jumped on him, forcing her extra-large breasts into his face and causing his head to jerk backward.
Shimkonis, a 38-year-old physical therapist, sought damages for head and neck injuries, disability, pain and suffering,
disfigurement, mental anguish and loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life.
He opted to take the case before ''The People's Court,'' the television show made famous by Judge Joseph Wapner, in order to
avoid a long and costly legal battle in normal channels.
All the parties agreed to accept Koch's ruling as binding
arbitration and dismiss the lawsuit.
Peaks was not named in the initial suit, but was added as a co-defendant on ''The People's Court.''
During the trial, Koch questioned why an MRI did not show
any kind of injury and why it took Shimkonis months to see a doctor. The plaintiff said in the past he had been too embarrassed to seek medical attention.
''He (Koch) believed that the breasts hit Shimkonis, but he is not convinced they caused any injury,'' Levin said.
Peaks, dressed in a conservative black-and-white business
suit, said she could not remember the incident. She tours around the country making $4,000 or more for 24 shows over six days in each location.
The ''People's Court'' segment, produced by Warner Bros., is scheduled to air during the first week of September.
