Federal prosecutors have dismissed their case against a Texas surgeon accused of obtaining private information on patients who were not under his care.

Dr. Eithan Haim, 34, allegedly exposed information on transgender-related treatment and minors from a Texas hospital. The manner in which he obtained the records resulted in federal charges against him in U.S. district court in Houston.
