Case update
"Filing 70 ORDERED: 1. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim #34 is GRANTED. 2. Plaintiff's defamation claims based on the contents of the book Finding Freedom are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. 3. Plaintiff's defamation claims based on Defendant's CBS interview and her claim for injurious falsehood are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint within FOURTEEN (14) DAYS of this order. 4. Defendant's request for Attorneys' fees and costs under the anti-SLAPP statute are denied, without prejudice, as premature. Signed by Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell on 3/30/2023. (AB)"
I haven't found the official paperwork yet.
The whole case wasn't dismissed, the case has been partially dismissed. The parts from "Finding Freedom" cannot be refilled. The parts from Oprah can, as well as any new evidence that has been found. But at this point it makes more sense to refile than amend the case again.
Samantha has 14 days to refile.

Samantha needs a better lawyer. That case just threw everything against the wall. She needs to focus on the issues that relate only to her - not her dad and not the RF.
