Alfonso Ignacio Viggers v. Al-Azhar F. Pacha, et al.

Whether the plaintiff in a civil action for defamation and wrongful termination has been deprived of the equal protection of the laws and of his reputation where the state court (1) concedes defendant a qualified privilege which under the circumstances is inapplicable, (2) palpably ignores evidence of the defendant's actual malice, and (3) favors the defendant via cross-motions for summary disposition despite the trial court's acknowledgment that there is a genuine issue of material fact.
