District Court fixes clerical error in Ryan Zimmerman's libel lawsuit

A whopping clerical error in Ryan Zimmerman’s lawsuit against Al Jazeera America was fixed on Monday.

At the top of the docket for the libel suit filed by the Washington Nationals’ first baseman against the since-disbanded media company, former athlete Liam Collins, reporter Deborah Davies, the Al Jazeera Media Network and Al Jazeera International, is a section labeled “demand.” In court documents reviewed by The Washington Times last week, a sum of $75 million was listed in the space. It was corrected on Monday to $75,000.

Zimmerman’s camp was surprised when The Washington Times reported the $75 million figure.
