A United States district judge dismissed Houston Nutt's federal lawsuit against the University of Mississippi on Tuesday, according to the Clarion-Ledger's Antonio Morales.

In the court order, Judge Neal B. Biggers Jr. wrote "the plaintiff concedes that the defendants' argument is meritorious and asserts 'it is agreed that this court lacks subject matter jurisdiction,'" after Ole Miss and the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning petitioned the lawsuit claiming they were "arms of the state," per Morales.
