USATF filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
Jim is suing Max Siegel as an individual for allegedly defaming him and he is suing USATF as an entity for Max’s alleged defamation.
The judge dismissed the claim against Max as an individual, ruling that Max was acting solely in his capacity as USATF CEO.
The judge did not dismiss the defamation claim against USATF, finding that Jim has properly alleged defamation and that the matter should move forward to discovery.
Jim is also suing Renee Washington as an individual for negligence and USATF as an entity for Renee’s alleged negligence.
These claims were both dismissed because the judge ruled that Renee did not have a duty (in the legal sense) to Jim.
