How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that a “complaint must at least identify” the statements, the publisher, the time the statements were made, and the third parties to whom they were made
• finding that the plaintiff sufficiently alleged slander when the statement that the plaintiff was “no good” allegedly “alluded [to the fact that the plaintiff] had ties to the Albanian mob” (record citation omitted)
• finding that the statement that a plaintiff “had ties to the Albanian mob” was an actionable mixed opinion because it “plausibly suggests that it is based on undisclosed facts or on facts that are challenged as untrue”
• denying ECOA discrimination claim where the plaintiffs failed to adequately plead the fourth element of a prima facie case
• dismissing Section 1985(3) claim where plaintiff failed to “provide a factual basis supporting a meeting of the minds, such that defendants entered into an agreement to deprive plaintiffs of constitutional rights”
• dismissing § 1985(3) conspiracy claim on other grounds, but noting that discriminatory animus was properly pled where the defendant corporation's employees alluded to fact that the plaintiff had ties to the Albanian mob and \express[ed] anti-Muslim sentiment\
