A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit alleging that the SEC is liable to investors for failing to detect Bernard Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme, ruling that the agency acted within its discretion.

The suit cited last year's SEC Office of Inspector General's report detailing how the agency failed to uncover Madoff's scheme.
