A federal judge has again dismissed a legal malpractice suit against Cozen O’Connor after an appeals court determined the district court improperly analyzed the plaintiff’s complaint the first time around.

This time examining Cozen O’Connor’s motion to dismiss as a merits-related standing issue, U.S. District Judge Nitza Quiñones Alejandro of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania determined Thursday that the plaintiff’s amended complaint failed to state a claim.
