In a federal lawsuit filed in December, Blake Lively claimed that a mysterious Texas-based social media guru ran an untraceable smear campaign against her at the behest of Justin Baldoni. On Wednesday, a judge granted Jed Wallace’s motion to dismiss himself as a defendant in the case.

Lively's legal team says the court's decision "relates solely to the procedural question of whether he is subject to jurisdiction in New York or elsewhere"

Blake Lively's deposition in the Justin Baldoni case has been rescheduled. Media reports indicate that the decision to delay the date was agreed upon by both parties.
