A lawsuit filed by a man injured in a 2004 brawl between basketball players and fans has been dismissed.  Charles Haddad claims Indiana Pacers player Jermaine O’Neal permanently disabled him after being punched in the head.  However, a federal jury found Haddad flew to Las Vegas the day after the brawl and had become a frequent visitor to the city.
