The Nirvana estate&#8217;s December 2021 legal response stated that the statute of limitations for the lawsuit expired more than 10 years ago, and also said, &#8216;<strong>Elden has spent three decades profiting from his celebrity as the self-anointed &#8220;Nirvana Baby&#8221;<\/strong>.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_160054&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 660px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"160054\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Kirk-Weddle-4.jpg\" alt=\"Photographer Kirk Weddle is one of several parties named in the lawsuit brought by Spencer Elden over Nirvana's Nevermind album cover\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Photographer Kirk Weddle (above) is one of several parties named in the lawsuit brought by Spencer Elden over Nirvana&#8217;s Nevermind album cover<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n<p><strong>Elden&#8217;s lawsuit was dismissed &#8216;with leave to amend&#8217;<\/strong> on 3 January 2022 as Elden&#8217;s legal team <strong>missed a 30 December 2021 deadline<\/strong> to file an opposition to the Nirvana estate\u2019s request for the lawsuit to be thrown out.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Refiled suit<\/h3>\n<p>On 12 January 2022 Elden\u2019s legal representatives refiled a lawsuit, one day before a required court deadline, and dropped a claim related to sex trafficking.
