567 N.W.2d 717 (1997)

REDWOOD COUNTY TELEPHONE CO., Respondent, v. Jerry LUTTMAN, et al., Appellants.

Court of Appeals of Minnesota.

Review Denied October 21, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Alan M. Anderson, C. Brent Robbins, Larkin, Hoffman, Daly & Lindgren, Ltd., Bloomington, for respondent.

Shawn M. Raiter, King & Hatch, P.A., St. Paul, for appellants.

Considered and decided by PARKER, P.J., and CRIPPEN and SHORT, JJ.

OPINION

PARKER, Judge.

Appellant Jerry Luttman, the Redwood County sheriff, appeals from the district court's denial of his motion for summary judgment. The sheriff contends that absolute privilege protects statements that respondent Redwood County Telephone Company claims were defamatory. The district court ruled that the statements were not absolutely privileged and denied summary judgment. We reverse and remand.
