(CNN) Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Monday gave up his effort to challenge special counsel Robert Mueller in civil court. Manafort has withdrawn his appeal of a judge's decision to throw out his civil lawsuit against Mueller, according to court filings. "It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between the parties that the (case) be voluntarily dismissed," the new filing said. In her ruling, federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson told Manafort to pursue his grievances against Mueller during his criminal proceedings. Manafort then asked the federal appeals court in Washington, DC, to review her decision.
