WND takes new action against Esquire
$250 million sought in high-profile eligibility case
WND
6/11/2012
"WND has filed notice to appeal a federal judge’s decision to dismiss its $250 million lawsuit against Esquire magazine
WND’s suit seeks damages for a report by Esquire’s website that falsely claimed the WND Books expose “Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible To Be President” by Jerome Corsi had been recalled and repudiated by the publisher.
“We’re confident that it will be reversed very quickly,” said attorney Larry Klayman, who is representing WND in the case.
As WND reported last week, Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of the U.S. District Court in D.C. granted Esquire’s motion to dismiss based on D.C.’s anti-SLAPP law, which is designed to protect media and public figures from frivolous lawsuits.
Klayman, founder of the D.C. watchdog group Judicial Watch, previously called the court’s June 4 decision “significantly flawed and intellectually dishonest,” pointing to a recent decision by the same court indicating the anti-SLAPP law does not apply in federal cases.
Klayman told WND today he believes Collyer showed prejudice by making material errors in the case.
He said Collyer prejudged the case, for example, in her material finding that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, even though Obama’s birthplace was not at issue.
“We will ask that another judge be assigned, because not only did she negligently commit gross errors of fact and law, but she showed she’s biased because of a finding that has nothing to do with the case,” Klayman said.
Support WND’s “Esquire Justice Fund” to support lawsuits against Mark Warren, Esquire and for its malicious attack on Jerome Corsi’s book, “Where’s the Birth Certificate?”
Klayman said he will file briefs within the next few months."
