No. C7-01-2021.

648 N.W.2d 249 (2002)

Richard WEINBERGER, Respondent, and Independent School District No. 622, et al., Defendants, v. MAPLEWOOD REVIEW, et al., Appellants.

Court of Appeals of Minnesota.

June 18, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephen W. Cooper, Stacey R. Everson, The Cooper Law Firm, Chartered, Minneapolis, for respondent.

Mark R. Anfinson, Minneapolis, for appellant.

Considered and decided by STONEBURNER, Presiding Judge, HARTEN, Judge, and ANDERSON, Judge.


OPINION

STONEBURNER, Judge.

Appellant Wally Wakefield, a reporter, appeals from the district court's order compelling him to disclose, pursuant to Minn.Stat. § 595.025 (defamation exception to the Free Flow of Information Act), which defendant, if any, is the source of statements in a news article. Because respondent Richard Weinberger has failed to establish that the exception applies, we reverse.
