A federal judge has ruled that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension has been nullified.

According to NBC News, Judge Richard Berman of a Manhattan federal court ruled in Brady's favor after the NFL and the players' union failed to agree on a settlement.

Brady was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season for his involvement in the "Deflategate" scandal, in which he and two other New England Patriots equipment managers allegedly let air out of footballs during last season's AFC title game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots eventually won the game 44-7.

After months of investigations, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Brady for four games for his involvement in the scandal.

According to ABC News, when asked why he overturned Goodell's decision, Judge Berman stated: "premised upon several significant legal deficiencies, including inadequate notice to Brady of both his potential discipline (four-game suspension) and his alleged misconduct; denial of the opportunity for Brady to examine one of two lead investigators, namely NFL Executive Vice President and General Counsel Jeff Pash; and denial of equal access to investigative files, including witness interview notes."

Ben Volin, Patriots writer for the Boston Globe, tweeted out the official ruling of the case:

As of right now, Brady is scheduled to start Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers next Thursday night.
