(Reuters) - A federal judge on Monday dismissed parts of a securities fraud case against two top executives of failed mortgage lender IndyMac Bancorp, according to a lawyer for one of the executives.

U.S. District Judge Manuel Real in Los Angeles dismissed claims based on five of seven securities filings at issue in the case, a lawyer for former IndyMac chief executive Michael Perry said.

The ruling substantially narrows the Securities and Exchange Commission's case against Perry and former finance chief Scott Keys ahead of a scheduled June trial.
