United States Third Circuit

In a suit brought by a New York Jets season ticket-holder against the New England Patriots, its head coach Bill Belichick, and the NFL, claiming various causes of action related to the Patriot's secret videotaping of their opponent's signals, known as the "Spygate" scandal, district court's order dismissing the amended complaint is affirmed as plaintiff suffered no cognizable injury to a legally protected right or interest.
