Description
On October 21, 1979, an article authored by appellee Brent Whiting and published by appellee Phoenix Newspapers, Inc. appeared on the front page of the Sunday edition of the Arizona Republic. The article, entitled "Rutledge family has been in 13 lawsuits in 10 years," briefly summarized the Rutledges litigation history during that time period and was drawn entirely from Maricopa County Superior Court records. At the time the article was published, Kevin Rutledge, son of the appellants, was involved in controversial litigation against former Arizona State University football coach Frank Kush. Appellants four-count complaint essentially alleges that the article set forth facts taken from the public record in such a way as to inaccurately portray the Rutledge family as "litigation-mongering" individuals. The five theories of relief contained in the complaint include invasion of privacy based on the public disclosure of private facts and false light publication, liability for intended consequences, and the negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The trial court, without discussion, granted summary judgment in favor of the appellees. We affirm.
