U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson tossed out a December jury decision that the Philadelphia-based hospital conducted a gender-biased investigation against John Abraham, MD, the report said.
Before the ruling, the verdict was the largest-ever under Title IX, the report said.

Dr. Abraham’s attorneys didn’t respond to The Philadelphia Inquirer for comment.
