Oh yes it was.... just look at the press release and it will tell you in no uncertain terms.......
On July 29, 2002, Judge Ronald S.W. Lew of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California denied the Motion to Dismiss in its entirety, thereby handing Judicial Watch’s clients a major victory and allowing this important civil rights lawsuit to proceed.
Yep denying a standard motion to dismiss is a MAJOR and IMPORTANT victory....... Just keep the money flowing folks... We have cruises to take and corruption to ferret out.
