Suarez v. Angelet
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Decided December 20, 2011PublishedCited by 2 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The defendant allegedly published an e-mail wherein he stated, among other things, “Gerry and [plaintiff Joseph Suarez] are thieves as far as I am concerned.” The Supreme Court concluded that the statement was an expression of “pure opinion” and, thus, did not constitute libel. Accordingly, in the *907order appealed from, the Supreme Court, inter alia, granted that branch of the defendant’s motion pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (7) which was to dismiss the first cause of action alleging libel for failure to state a cause of action. The plaintiff appeals. We reverse the order insofar as appealed from.
