Re: Smith v. Johnson

Hi. I hope you’re settled in and that you like the office we've assigned to you. Listen, about the Johnson case that I wrote you about the other day… I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine who also practices law here in Fresno. I told her all about the Johnson case and she told me that she heard that there was a case in the federal district court for the Eastern District of California that had many similar facts to our case. She tells me she thinks it discussed jurisdiction, defamation, invasion of privacy, and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, which are all seemingly relevant to our case. Unfortunately, my friend forgot the name of the case although she thinks it was also about the publication of a website called something-“exposed” and a movie that was made about some high-profile murders. In any case, I'd love to go search for it but I have to prepare for my court hearing next Wednesday and I just don't have the time. Please do me a favor and: - Find the case that my friend was talking about; and - With regard to all of the issues in common with our case mentioned above (ONLY those issues, mind you), brief It formally in a way that will allow me to refer to it in the most useful manner.
