Willenken Obtains Dismissal of Complaint with Prejudice for CBS Studios, Jodi Roth, and Yacht Money

Willenken LLP is pleased to have obtained the dismissal with prejudice of a complaint asserted against CBS Studios, Jodi Roth and Yacht Money LLC.

The complaint alleged that the CBS television series Superfan was based on a proposed show that plaintiff had previously pitched to CBS. Willenken filed a demurrer on behalf of all the defendants. The court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend, finding that Superfan was not based on the plaintiff’s pitch.

Partner Peter Shimamoto, associate Michelle Millard, and staff attorney and e-Discovery manager Sherin Varghese handled the matter for the defendants.
