A state court judge in Seattle has dismissed the third and final claim of a lawsuit brought by a violinist who accused the Seattle Symphony and its music director, Gerard Schwarz, of abuse and discrimination. The violinist, Peter Kaman, charged that the orchestra had discriminated against him because of his disability â a severe anxiety disorder â and systematically harassed him. The judge, Catherine Shaffer of King County Superior Court, previously dismissed the discrimination claims and last week threw out a claim that Mr. Kaman had suffered outrageous conduct and emotional distress. Mr. Kamanâs lawyer, Brenda Little, said on Monday that she would file a motion for the judge to reconsider last weekâs ruling; an appeal of the earlier dismissals is already pending, she said. The lawsuit was the latest chapter of turmoil in the orchestra: Mr. Schwarz has faced persistent opposition from players, several of whom have said they were targets of vandalism.

Vivian Stringer pressured Vaughn to drop a lawsuit against Don Imus over his sexist and racist remarks about the team. Vaughn dropped her slander and defamation suit in September against Imus, who called Rutgersâs players ânappy-headed hosâ after the team lost in the N.C.A.A. finals.Vaughn had filed the lawsuit against Imus and CBS in August, saying his comments during his radio show damaged her reputation. In a Sept. 4 e-mail message and an Aug. 17 letter sent to university officials before the suit was dropped, Vaughnâs lawyer, Richard B. Ancowitz, said that Stringer and others put pressure on his client and other players not to seek legal action against Imus.
