Swain's tenure on the District Court bench has included some of the Southern District of New York's high-profile book authorship disputes.

In particular, she presided over Lapine v. Seinfeld and Hoover v. Boncompangi.

Both cases were widely covered by the press, and were rich fodder for New York's tabloid newspapers.

<

This action was filed by author Missy Chase Lapine against comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica Seinfeld, asserting that the couple used ideas for Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food from Lapine's book The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals.

The Seinfelds denied Lapine's claim.

Lapine claimed she experienced substantial financial loss.

As a result of comments made by Mr. Seinfeld about the authorship dispute on the Late Show with David Letterman, Lapine included a cause of action for defamation to her suit.

This action was filed by Tatiana Boncompagni Hoover against her older sister Natasha Boncompagni.

Hoover, a New York socialite, professional author, and wife of an heir to the Hoover cleaning founder, accused her sister of making unauthorized electronic copies of her book Hedge Fund Wives.

The court granted an emergency temporary restraining order preventing the older sister from further distribution of the pre-publication manuscript.

Nunes sought $435 million in damages and claimed that on November 22, 2019, CNN published a false news article and engaged in a conspiracy theory to damage his reputation.

Swain noted that under California law, a retraction must be demanded in writing within 20 days of publication, which Nunes failed to request.
