A writer for the popular show "Sex and the City" has had her lawsuit against a homeowner thrown out and declared "frivolous."

According to news reports, Emmy Award-winning writer Cindy Chupack and her husband, Ian Wallach, sued homeowner Rebecca Gomez, claiming Gomez failed to return their $15,000 deposit on a home they were going to rent in Greenwich Village for three months while shooting a movie. After the movie deal fell through, Chupack sought return of the nonrefundable deposit, and when her request was denied, she filed suit, despite acknowledging in an email that she knew the money was nonrefundable.

Calling the lawsuit "frivolous," a state Supreme Court Judge in Manhattan awarded $10,000 to Gomez.
