Second Failed Libel Case for Terminated Employee
A recent New York Law Journal article reported that a Federal judge has thrown out a pro se libel action against a New York Judge of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. This is the second such dismissal for the plaintiff who claims she was fired unjustly, citing sexual harassment and workplace retaliation.
In both cases, the plaintiff appealed her alleged unfair termination, claiming that the judges defamed her in their statements, thereby damaging her reputation. The presiding Federal judge threw both cases out, calling the recent libel action “frivolous.”
