The actor's lawyer said they were in "good-faith settlement discussions" with the parties involved and will be refiling if they are not resolved

A New Mexico judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by actor Alec Baldwin for malicious prosecution and civil rights violations in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie "Rust.

A judge on Wednesday dismissed Alec Baldwin’s misconduct suit against authorities in New Mexico, after Baldwin’s side failed to pursue the case. Baldwin filed the 73-page complaint in January, alleging that prosecutor Kari Morrissey and others trampled on his rights in seeking to hold him accountable for the fatal shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
