E! Online is reporting that more Borat lawsuits have been thrown out of court, this time by a New York judge who ruled in favor of the defendants because each plaintiff signed a release to appear in a "documentary-style film" and received payment for their time and trouble.

Two etiquette coaches seen in the film along with the driving instructor were suing Sacha Baron Cohen and 20th Century Fox, claiming they were persuaded into appearing in the film because of fraudulent tactics employed by the filmmakers. U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska tossed those cases, as she did another Borat lawsuit back in April by the businessman who runs away from the intrepid Kazakh reporter on the streets of New York when he's trying to get a hug.
