Description

[42 N.Y.2d 369 Page 372] This is an action for defamation. The plaintiff is a Justice of the Supreme Court, Second Judicial District. His complaint alleges that he was libeled in the book, Cruel and Unusual Justice, authored by defendant Jack Newfield and published by defendant Holt, Rinehart & Winston, Inc. After extensive pretrial discovery, defendants moved for summary judgment. Their motion was denied by Special Term. The Appellate Division, by a closely divided court, affirmed (53 A.D.2d 839), but granted defendants leave to appeal to our court upon a certified question.
