(CNN) Former sports reporter Kelli Tennant has dropped a lawsuit that accused NBA coach Luke Walton of the Sacramento Kings of sexual assault. Tennant's attorneys filed a request that the lawsuit be dismissed in Superior Court in Los Angeles County on Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by CNN. The request asked that the lawsuit be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the accusations cannot be brought against Walton again. Additional information about why the lawsuit was dropped or if any settlement was involved was not included in the court documents. In a statement released through the Kings, Walton said, "I remain 100% focused on coaching the Kings and will have no further comment."
