Lewis Liman

Lewis Liman is a US District Judge. He is newsworthy due to his recent rulings in two high-profile cases. First, he dismissed the majority of Blake Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, her co-star in the film 'It Ends With Us.' Liman threw out 10 of the 13 claims, including allegations of sexual harassment, conspiracy, and defamation, though the case will proceed with the remaining claims. Second, Judge Liman blocked the Trump administration's attempt to halt New York City's congestion pricing plan. He ruled that the US Department of Transportation lacked the authority to unilaterally rescind approval of the toll. These rulings highlight Liman's role in adjudicating complex legal matters with significant public interest and economic implications.
