JUDGMENT
This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there
was error in part of the trial court’s order. It is ordered that the order of the trial
court is affirmed in part and reversed in part.
We affirm the portion of the trial court’s order denying Appellants’ motion to
dismiss as to Appellee’s intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress claim. We reverse
the portion of the trial court’s order denying Appellants’ motion to dismiss as to
Appellee’s defamation and conspiracy claims, render judgment dismissing those
claims.
It is further ordered that the parties shall bear their own costs of this appeal,
for which let execution issue.
