Lawsuit Dropped!

I had first reported in October regarding the lawsuit between Caitlin Sanchez, the voice of Dora the Explorer and Nickelodeon, MTV networks and parent company Viacom.

It seems the young actress has dropped the lawsuit after alleging that the network underpaid her and cut her out of lucrative merchandising deals.

Sanchez's attorney John Balestriere had stated, "after discussions, the lawsuit was withdrawn." He added that he could not go into details because of an agreement among the parties.

 The network released the following statement:
 "We have always felt, and continue to feel, that Caitlin is a very talented performer. Our intention was always that Caitlin complete the episodes on which she worked, and we are pleased that she has agreed to do so."

Nickelodeon did not comment on any possible financial considerations that led to its resolution.
