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.
