Mile High Settles Martha's Vineyard 'Background Art' Case

BOSTON — In an unexpected turn of events, Mile High Media has settled the years-long lawsuit with a Martha's Vineyard landlord who sued the studio and several associates for a 2014 incident involving artwork in her rental property which she claimed could be seen onscreen in several adult videos.

"Friday's report of a settlement and subsequent dismissal by U.S. District Judge Patti Saris comes one day after homeowner Leah Bassett and her counsel appeared for their third trip through mediation," legal news site Law360 reported this afternoon. "The mediator, U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler, said in a Friday docket entry that the case has settled and the parties requested 60 days to complete the agreement."

Judge Saris, the report continued, "filed a dismissal order within minutes of Judge Bowler's report."

The case is on file as "Bassett v. Jensen et al., case number 1:18-cv-10576," in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
