Last May, two women filed a lawsuit accusing former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus of sexual assault during the team's flight to London for an Oct. 8, 2023 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Now comes word that lawsuit has been dismissed after Michael S. Sharrit, a Florida circuit court judge, granted a motion from McManus' legal team.

ESPN's Michael DiRocco obtained court documents and relayed the findings.

"Judge Michael S. Sharrit granted a motion from McManus' attorney Tuesday by ruling that per Florida law the two women's use of pseudonyms -- Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II -- does not meet 'exceptional case' criteria required to warrant party anonymity.
