Trump Complaint Dismissed, DTSA Claims Lacked Jurisdiction

Boies Schiller Flexner partner Adam Shaw and associate Jenna Smith published their quarterly article in the New York Law Journal looking at cases of significance in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. This quarter's column focuses on two decisions granting motions to dismiss; the first dismissing claims brought by former president Donald Trump against New York Attorney General Letitia James, and the second dismissing an action alleging violations of the Defend Trade Secrets Act and accompanying state law claims for lack of personal jurisdiction and lack of capacity to sue.
