Delanna Garey v. Stanford Management, LLC

Summary

The court held that Garey's complaint adequately pleaded defamation per se and false light invasion of privacy because the alleged communications could imply that she was dangerous and should be avoided. The court further held that Stanford's asserted conditional privilege could not support dismissal at the pleading stage because Garey alleged abuse of the privilege and the defense had not been established. The court affirmed dismissal of the declaratory and injunctive claims as moot because the one-year trespass notice had expired. The judgment was otherwise vacated and the case remanded; no separate opinions were filed.
