HICKS, Chief Judge.
This was a libel suit. Appellant, Riley, on August 13, 1946, filed his complaint, in which he charged appellee, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., with publishing libelous matter about him in certain credit reports. The original complaint was followed by two amended complaints and by a substituted complaint filed on July 11, 1947. On motion of appellee the cause was dismissed upon the ground that the substituted complaint failed to state a cause of action. The parties agreed that the sufficiency of the substituted complaint was the only issue before the court.
