Philip R. SODERGREN, v. The JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY, et al.

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

June 1, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul F. Newhouse, Towson, for appellant.

Jeffrey P. Ayres (Robin B. Bowerfind and Venable, Baetjer and Howard, LLP, and Valerie Floyd Portner, Laurel, on the brief), for appellees.

Argued before MURPHY, C.J., KENNEY and RAYMOND G. THIEME (Ret'd, specially assigned), JJ.

KENNEY, Judge.

Appellant, Philip R. Sodergren, appeals a decision by the Circuit Court for Howard County granting appellees' motion for summary judgment. He presents one question:

Whether the trial court erred in holding that a privilege to defame arising in the context of the litigation process protects appellees in this action, who published defamatory letters concerning appellant as part of the settlement of a prior action.
