Syllabus

CIV.R. 12(B)(6) — INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS — DEFAMATION — STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS — MOTION TO AMEND: The trial court did not err in dismissing plaintiff's complaint for intentional infliction of emotional distress for failure to state a claim where the complaint conclusively established that the claim was time-barred by the applicable statute of limitations: the claim in substance was a defamation claim subject to the one-year statute of limitations for defamation. The trial court did not err in denying plaintiff's motion for leave to amend his complaint where such amendment would be futile. Based on a review of the record, the trial court did not fail to consider any information that could have resulted in a different outcome than dismissal.
