A New Mexico judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by actor Alec Baldwin against prosecutors and law enforcement involved in his prosecution over the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of his film “Rust.”

The lawsuit stemmed from the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was fatally wounded after a gun that Baldwin was handling discharged on set. Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter, but the charge was later dismissed by a judge last year.
