LOS ANGELES—A federal judge has dismissed former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s lawsuit against the county over his placement on a “do not rehire” list, according to court papers obtained Saturday.

In an order issued Friday, U.S. District Judge Steven Wilson granted dismissal ultimately because Villanueva failed to sufficiently show that the county deprived him of due process or that his First Amendment rights were violated.
