Good news for Alan Dershowitz in a case involving him and some of the nation’s most prominent attorneys: A state appellate court Wednesday found a woman seeking sanctions against him lacked standing.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accused Dershowitz of having sex with her while she was a minor, sought sanctions based on statements in Dershowitz’s affidavit in high-profile litigation against two other prominent attorneys, both of whom had represented Giuffre: former federal judge Paul Cassell and Farmer Jaffe Weissing Edwards Fistos & Lehrman partner Bradley Edwards.
