Syllabus

Trial court did not err in granting motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Complaint alleged claim for defamation based on statement contained in eviction filing, but statements made in a judicial proceeding are absolutely privileged against a defamation action so long as they are reasonably related to the proceeding. Complaint generally referred to the Americans with Disabilities Act but failed to allege the facts necessary to state a claim under that law.
