Disgraced Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega’s lawsuit over his inclusion in a 2012 video game has been dismissed by a judge who determined the game’s use of his likeness is protected by the First Amendment.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William Fahey’s ruling determined that Activision Blizzard, Inc. created a complex and multi-faceted game, “Call of Duty: Black Ops II,” and it relied very little on the inclusion of Noriega in a pair of missions.
