    >But in mid-February, US district judge Dale Ho dismissed Manz’s case, writing that the plaintiff’s “claims fail as a matter of law”.

    >“Mr Manz has failed to state a claim that Los Tacos negligently served excessively spicy salsa at the Times Square location,” the judge wrote.

    >Ho noted that Manz had not shown that he was unable to obtain information about the salsa’s spice level before eating it.

    >“Manz admits that he never asked anyone, whether a customer or a Los Tacos employee, about the contents of the salsa bar before putting a large amount on each of his tacos,” Ho wrote.

    This is why people hate lawyers. This case was a waste of, literally, everyone’s time.
