A judge in New York on Friday dismissed Rudy Giuliani’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, clearing the way for the former New York City mayor to appeal a $148 million defamation judgment.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane formalized the decision after saying he was leaning toward doing so on Wednesday. Lawyers for Mr. Giuliani and two former election workers had agreed that dismissing the case was the best way forward.
