LOS ANGELES, May 4 (UPI) -- Lawyers for comedian Bill Maher have convinced a Los Angeles judge to toss a palimony lawsuit filed by the celebrity's former girlfriend.
Nancy "Coco" Johnsen filed her $9 million palimony suit last fall, claiming Maher promised her marriage and a mansion, E! Online reported.

Johnsen also said Maher, who hosts "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO, abused her physically and verbally.
Maher's lawyers responded with a motion to dismiss the suit, which was granted Monday.
Eight months of dating doesn't entitle anyone to palimony, said Maher lawyer Adam Streisand.
