Kevin Costner dismisses lawsuit against promoter

Los Angeles: Kevin Costner has dismissed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against a music promoter he claimed failed to back his music career.

Court records in Los Angeles show the lawsuit against Mahee Worldwide Ventures Inc. was dismissed last week. The actor-director`s attorney, Melvin Avanzado, says the case wasn`t settled. The 55-year-old Costner sued in April 2007, claiming Mahee reneged on a deal to book the Kevin Costner Band for as many as five shows a year and maintain a marketing website. The case was delayed because Mahee filed for bankruptcy. Mahee`s bankruptcy attorney did not return an e-mail seeking comment Thursday. Avanzado says the bankruptcy revealed that Mahee didn`t have any assets. He says "we just felt it was time to move on." Bureau Report
