Overview
- U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin dismissed the case on Dec. 16 after repeated missed deadlines following more than a year of litigation.
- The order notes the plaintiff’s attorney withdrew in September, the plaintiff failed to show the defendants were served, and the court found the obstacle was counsel unwilling to be retained.
- The dismissal was entered without prejudice, allowing a potential refiling if counsel is obtained and other legal requirements are met.
- Druski praised the decision and referenced phone and bank records indicating he was in Georgia in 2018, and a prior ruling said there appeared to be no reasonable factual basis for claims about his involvement.
- Odell Beckham Jr.’s attorney welcomed the outcome, though the judge denied his sanctions motion; all defendants have denied the allegations.
