Opinion
June 6, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Wager, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
We agree with the Supreme Court that there exist triable issues of fact regarding the defendant's defenses to the defamation claims asserted by the appellant which preclude the granting of summary judgment. Bracken, J.P., Brown, Lawrence and Spatt, JJ., concur.
