A US judge has thrown out a court case brought by the Beach Boys, who claimed their recordings and memorabilia had been stolen from a warehouse.
It was ruled that the band failed to prove that Roy Sciacca and Allan Gaba stole or illegally acquired the items.
The group sued for $20m (£10.1m) last year after they discovered up to 25 boxes of material were missing.
Mr Sciacca counter-sued the Beach Boys, contending he bought the items at a warehouse auction in the 1980s.
"This has really been a difficult time for him," said Mr Sciacca's lawyer after the case was thrown out.
"He's a big collector of memorabilia, and to have the Beach Boys making these kinds of allegations against him has just really, really interfered with his ability to do business."
The group's lawyer was not available for comment.
Auction cancelled
