  • US District Judge Zachary Bluestone dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled in that court.1
  • The dismissal followed Ann Altman’s failure to appear for an independent medical examination and meet other court deadlines despite warnings.1
  • The judge denied Sam Altman’s request for attorney fees and costs.1
