Judge Dismisses Ann Altman's Lawsuit Against Sam Altman With Prejudice

Summary
US District Judge Zachary Bluestone threw out Ann Altman’s sexual abuse lawsuit against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, with prejudice, barring her from refiling it in that court.
The judge said Ann Altman missed an independent medical examination and other court deadlines over the past year despite warnings that noncompliance could lead to dismissal.
Bluestone granted Sam Altman’s motion to dismiss but denied his request to recover attorney fees and costs.
A lawyer who represented Ann Altman until withdrawing this month said he was no longer authorized to comment, though he still believed in her; Sam Altman and relatives had previously called the claims entirely untrue.
