Description
This is a companion case to MacGuire v. Harriscope Broadcasting Co., Wyo., 612 P.2d 830 (1980). The cases were consolidated for argument. Like its companion case, the primary issue here is the application of the actual-malice rule of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 279, 84 S.Ct. 710, 726, 11 L.Ed.2d 686, 95 A.L.R.2d 1412 (1964), in connection with a motion for summary judgment by the publisher of allegedly defamatory material. By brief and argument the appellees presented alternative bases for sustaining the trial courts judgment. We do not consider those alternative propositions because we conclude that the rules of law set forth in MacGuire v. Harriscope Broadcasting Co., supra, are applicable and dispositive. We will affirm the judgment of the district court.
