The University of Michigan's student government president has dropped a request for a personal protection order against a state lawyer who attacked him on an anti-gay blog.
An official at the Washtenaw County Circuit Court in Ann Arbor says 21-year-old Chris Armstrong's lawyer filed a motion to drop the matter Monday, hours before a court hearing was scheduled.
Armstrong had requested the order earlier this month against assistant attorney general Andrew Shirvell. He claimed the 30-year-old prosecutor harassed him over a five-month period.
Shirvell started a blog in April that criticized Armstrong as a racist with a "radical homosexual agenda." Shirvell remains on personal leave from his job.
