Joe Francis Successfully Fights Paper With Paper

It's Joe Francis' lawyers who are having all the fun these days.

The Girls Gone Wild founder's gainfully employed legal camp has settled another of the civil suits pending against him, this one brought by a Florida woman who claimed she was 16 when she flashed her boobs for a GGW crew and unwittingly ended up on the cover of one of their videos.

An attorney for Francis said no money will be changing hands, but that in return for the plaintiff's cooperation, they have agreed to drop their lawsuit accusing her of abusing the legal process.

While Francis was sued personally by the girl, his lawyers were quick to point out that he was not even in the state at the time of her R-rated closeup.

"This is yet another example of false allegations that my company and I have faced," Francis said. "I am tired of these lies being said about me in an attempt to extort money and destroy my name.

"I will fight back, and will defend myself against every one of these groundless accusations."

He will not, however, file suit against the girl, thanks to her agreement to issue a public apology for her allegation.

"I, Brittany Pitts, have agreed to dismiss my lawsuit and acknowledge that no money has been paid to me by the defendants as damages," she released in a statement.

So, it's back to the ol' income-tax evasion ballgame.
