A Fort Lauderdale federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by three passengers and their parents against Miami-based Carnival Corp. over the 2012 capsizing of the Costa Concordia off the coast of Italy.

U.S. District Judge William Dimitrouleas agreed with Carnival that the lawsuit should be filed in Italy, not in the United States. Passengers and Italian businesses have filed lawsuits against Carnival in federal court in the Southern District of Florida because Costa’s parent company is based there.
