A Superior Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the state’s 2019 medical aid-in-dying law, holding that a doctor and two others named as plaintiffs had neither legal standing nor the constitutional right to interfere with a terminally ill person’s choice to end his or her life.

In his 37-page ruling issued late Wednesday, Mercer County Superior Court Judge Robert Lougy granted a motion by state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal to dismiss the complaint in Glassman v. Grewal, which sought to overturn the controversial law.
