A federal judge has dismissed a malpractice suit by the court-appointed receiver for victims of R. Allen Stanford’s Ponzi scheme against Proskauer Rose and Chadbourne & Parke, ruling that it lacked jurisdiction.

The receiver, Ralph Janvey of Dallas-based firm Krage & Janvey, accused the two firms—along with Thomas Sjoblom, who had served as a partner at each firm—of helping Stanford breach his fiduciary duties to investors.
