CORBIN v. WASHINGTON FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY

No. 12275.

398 F.2d 543 (1968)

Samuel J. CORBIN, Appellant, v. WASHINGTON FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY; St. Louis Fire and Marine Insurance Company; and The Insurance Company of St. Louis, Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.

Decided July 17, 1968.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Morris D. Rosen, Charleston, S. C. (G. M. Howe, Jr., Charleston, S. C., on the brief), for appellant.

Wm. H. Grimball, Charleston, S. C. (Grimball & Cabaniss, Charleston, S. C., on the brief), for appellees.

Before SOBELOFF, WINTER and BUTZNER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

The question presented by this appeal is whether under South Carolina law an absolute privilege protects defamatory statements uttered in the course of private arbitration proceedings. The District Court held that such statements were absolutely privileged and granted defendants' motion for summary judgment. We affirm on the basis of the District Court's opinion, 278 F.Supp. 393 (D.S.C.1968).
