Second Circuit Court Affirms Dismissal of Hacking Allegations Against Dechert LLP

The suit accused a private investigator, alleged to have acted on Dechert’s behalf, of hacking activities. On Monday, the appellate court determined in a nonprecedential decision that the district judge’s oversight in reviewing disputed segments of a magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss the case was ultimately inconsequential.
