Less than a week after Netflix and Ava DuVernay were sued by an ex-prosecutor depicted in When They See Us, the undoubtedly happy duo today saw a federal judge dismiss a previous lawsuit over the Emmy-nominated miniseries.

This ends an action started back in October by John E. Reid & Associates over their trademark controversial interrogation technique.
