District Judge Fernando Olguin dismissed an earlier version because Elden had not responded to the defendants' dismissal motion. The 'Nevermind' cover art depicted Elden, then 4 months old, swimming naked toward a dollar bill pierced with a fish hook, an image Elden has said caused him 'lifelong damages.'Įlden filed his amended complaint nine days after U.S. Lawyers for the defendants did not immediately respond on Thursday to requests for comment.

Elden is seeking at least $150,000 from each. Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic Courtney Love, the widow of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain several record labels, and photographer Kirk Weddle are among the 10 defendants. Spencer Elden, the plaintiff, maintained in an amended complaint filed on Wednesday in Los Angeles that the 'lascivious nature of his image' amounted to 'child pornography' that helped the band reap tens of millions of dollars at his expense. The baby featured on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album “ Nevermind” is suing the band again, claiming that he was sexually exploited, although a California judge has previously dismissed his lawsuit on procedural grounds.
