Link to the appeal's court ruling? San Francisco court I assume will have it up very quickly, but I'm not sure where to look. Usually people have legal documents posted on Scribd very quickly, but my compulsory search found nothing under "naruto v slater" today



Those links are to the complaint and the district court's order dismissing the case.

Edit: See above for link to LA Times article reporting that a settlement was reached between PETA and Slater, not that the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion.


OP's article says

> But appeal judges at a court in San Francisco ruled in Mr Slater's favour after a two-year legal fight.

but maybe this was just a denial of PETA's motion to dismiss.


so we would be looking for something dated September 11th, 2017

not 2015 and 2016


Here is the motion to dismiss (contrary to the BBC article, this was a settlement, not a ruling): https://arstechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/narutofin...
