UPDATE: Three weeks after news correspondent Matt Gutman was named in a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former ABC field producer, Gutman, now a chief correspondent with CBS News, is being dropped from the legal action.
In paperwork filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, lawyers for the ex-ABC producer Samaira Said requested that Gutman, who previously worked alongside Said at ABC, be dismissed from her complaint. No reason was given in the court document as to why the request to drop Gutman is being made.
