CBS Corp. won the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Dan Rather, its former network anchorman, who claimed he was fired in the fallout over a story about President George Bush's Vietnam War-era military service.

Both sides in April asked a panel of appeals court judges in Manhattan to overturn rulings by New York Supreme Court Justice Ira Gammerman.
