Erika Jayne has been dismissed from her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s embezzlement lawsuit in Illinois. «Pursuant to stipulation, plaintiff's claims against defendants EJ Global LLC and Erika Girardi are dismissed without prejudice and without costs,» the court documents, filed on Jan. 29, obtained by ET said.

 The documents will be refiled in California by the plaintiff, Edelson PC.Jayne’s attorney Evan Borges released a statement in response to the court’s decision. «While Edelson retains the right to re-fie in California, the dismissal of Erika from the federal lawsuit that triggered bankruptcies of Girardi Keese and Tom Girardi is extremely important,» Borges said in the statement obtained by E! News.  «For example, the recent three-day evidentiary hearing in the Boeing case showed that Erika had ZERO role in what GK and Edelson discussed, did, and didn't do, whether as between each other or as to their clients.

In fact, I'm informed Erika's name didn't even come up at the hearing,” he said.  The statement continued, „I'd like to see Edelson and everyone else take the high road going forward and not make accusations against Erika without evidence. We want Edelson to get the most complete picture of the evidence as possible, and have no issue with further investigation.
