A federal judge in Massachusetts has dismissed a lawsuit accusing The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck of plagiarism, The Boston Herald reports.

A federal lawsuit filed last June accused the conservative daytime commentator of lifting content from a book written by self-published Cape Cod author Susan Hassett on the digestive disorder celiac disease. Hasselbeck’s book, The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide, was featured on several best-seller lists this year.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro dismissed the lawsuit last week after Hassett’s attorney declined to pursue it due to lack of evidence.
