OPINION OF THE COURT
Kenneth R. Fisher, J.
Defendants Gannett and the City of Rochester separately move for summary judgment dismissing plaintiff’s defamation complaint. Previous motions for summary judgment by Gannett, and to dismiss the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3211 by the City, resulted in a denial by the Appellate Division. (Lee v City of Rochester, 195 AD2d 1000 [4th Dept 1993].) After discovery, summary judgment is sought again upon somewhat different grounds than those raised on the prior motions. For the reasons stated below, defendants’ motions are granted.
