Syllabus

Trial court errs in dismissing defamation claim where complaint alleges all elements of the claim. Claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress properly dismissed where facts alleged are not, as a matter of law, extreme or outrageous. Claim for retaliation properly dismissed where no basis exists to extend statutory claim for discrimination into a non-discrimination context. Declaratory judgment action for violation of due process does not state a claim where constitution does not provide an independent cause of action and where R.C. Chapter 124 provides adequate remedy of appeal.
