A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday granted the actor’s request to toss a lawsuit filed against him by an insurance company that claimed De Niro intentionally withheld that he had prostate cancer before the insurer signed on to cover one of his films.

Fireman’s Fund sued the Raging Bull star in October 2006, contending he wrongfully checked off a box indicating he had “never been diagnosed with or treated for” various conditions, including a diseased prostate, when he filled out his medical certificate.

The 64-year old old actor – Robert De Niro – underwent prostate cancer surgery in December 2003 at New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Since then, De Niro claims to be cancer-free.
