1Opinion of the Court

PAMELA L. REEVES, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Martin Kent brings this action against Kevin Hennelly alleging libel, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy. Kent's allegations arise from three allegedly defamatory posts, two on Facebook and one website comment on a news article, all posted in South Carolina. Before the court is Hennelly's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Because the complaint does not contain any allegations tying this case to Tennessee and no allegations regarding minimum contacts by Hennelly, the motion is granted and this action dismissed.
