After sufficiently airing his grievances, funnyman Jerry Stiller has "discontinued" his legal action against a cab driver who allegedly injured the 81-year-old actor back in 2006. The incident occurred after Stiller climbed out of a taxi on Madison Avenue, then reached back inside to retrieve something.

In his subsequent lawsuit against the driver and the Acme Cab Company, Stiller sought $12,000 for medical bills, but in dropping the litigation last week, it's unclear whether any settlement was reached out of court.
