NEW YORK, May 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On Friday, May 18, 2018, Judge George Daniels
of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York dismissed Andrea Tantaros' suit against Fox News and
Pete Snyder due to the complaint
being "based primarily on speculation and conjecture," and
"fail[ing] to adequately make out the basic elements of [Tantaros']
claims."
Pete Snyder, a successful
entrepreneur and technology angel capital investor, was wrongfully
included in the lawsuit, a point clearly shared by Judge Daniels.
In dismissing her unsubstantiated allegations, the judge
rejected her claims that Pete
Snyder's contract to be an on-air contributor tied him to
any alleged efforts by Fox to discredit her.
Randy Mastro, a Partner at
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, represented Pete Snyder in the lawsuit, and released the
following statement after the Court's dismissal: "We are gratified
by the Court's decision today dismissing Andrea Tantaros' baseless lawsuit in its
entirety and vindicating Pete Snyder
in every respect. We said all along that Pete Snyder did nothing wrong, was being
unfairly dragged through the mud, and never should have been sued
in the first place. And now the Court has reached the same
conclusion. Such vexatious lawsuits have no place in our courts,
and we are therefore grateful that the Court saw through this sham
litigation and put an end to it today. Justice was
served."
