A judge has dismissed Proskauer Rose and Greenberg Traurig from a lawsuit that accused the firms, respectively, of aiding a fraudulent scheme involving Facebook shares and a sham real estate transaction.

New Zealand resident Gerald Chambers, his wife and son sued the two law firms and about 20 other defendants last year, including Eliyahu Weinstein, Alex Schleider and Aaron Muschel in Chambers v. Weinstein, 157781/2013, in Manhattan Supreme Court.
