LOS ANGELES - Some news coming here after a glorious first day of festivities at Ultra Music Festival. Sources have confirmed that another slap in the face comes for the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission, as it has been ordered to pay Insomniac, Inc. (the entertainment and events corporation that hosts the world wide Electric Daisy Carnival) approximately $400,000 in attorney’s fees stemming from the Commission’s failed lawsuit against Insomniac and the company’s CEO, Pasquale Rotella.

Last August 30, Superior Court Judge Terry Green dismissed all claims made by the Commission against Insomniac and Mr. Rotella, finding that despite six attempts the Commission had still failed to plead a viable case. In the meantime Insomniac's event, Electric Daisy Carnival, which the Coliseum snubbed it's nose at, has reached unprecedented success at its new home in Las Vegas, and now this latest judgement puts the final nail in the coffin.

In response to Friday’s decision, Insomniac’s attorney, Gary Jay Kaufman, issued the following statement:

We are very pleased that the Court awarded Insomniac the full amount of its attorneys’ fees. This is just further confirmation of what we have maintained from day one: this lawsuit was ill-conceived, politically motivated and publicity driven. Neither Insomniac nor Mr. Rotella did anything wrong and this lawsuit should never have been brought in the first place.
