John Charles HEEKIN, Appellant, v. CBS BROADCASTING, INC., a New York corporation, f/n/a CBS, Inc. and Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

February 16, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert E. Turffs, Sarasota, for Appellant.

David M. Snyder of David M. Snyder, P.A., Tampa; Lee Levine and Ashley I. Kissinger of Levine Sullivan & Koch, L.L.P. Washington, DC; and Susanna M. Lowry, New York, NY, for Appellee.


PARKER, Acting Chief Judge.

John Charles Heekin challenges the trial court's order dismissing his suit for false light invasion of privacy against CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (CBS). The trial court dismissed Heekin's complaint with prejudice on two grounds and granted summary judgment on another ground. Because we find that the motion to dismiss was improperly granted and entry of summary judgment was improper based on the record before the trial court, we reverse.
