Lefrock v. Walgreen Co.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Lefrock v. Walgreen Co., 644 F. App'x 898 (11th Cir. 2016)

Lefrock v. Walgreen Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

Jack LeFrock, M.D., appeals the summary judgment the District Court granted Walgreen Co., on his state law claims for slander. Doc. 51. His principal argument is that the court misapplied the Florida law in holding that the statements Walgreen’s pharmacists made to his patients while filling their prescriptions were privileged. We find no error. The statements were privileged, and LeFrock presented no evidence to show that they were made with malice.

AFFIRMED.
