two former undercover police officers for the city of albuquerque brought suit against a local television station , kob - tv , for broadcasting their identities and their undercover status in the context of their suspected involvement in an alleged incident of sexual assault . the officers were never charged , and about a week after the broadcasts , the city police department announced publicly that it had concluded the officers were not involved in the alleged sexual assault . the officers sued kob - tv for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress . the district court dismissed their claims under fed . r . civ . p . 12 ( b ) ( 6 ) . while we are sympathetic to the difficult and potentially dangerous situation undercover officers face after having their identities revealed to the public , we agree with the court below that the officers ' allegations do not support a tort claim for either invasion of privacy or emotional distress . because alvarado and flores fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted , it is unnecessary for us to reach the issue of whether kob - tv ' s first amendment defense merited dismissal of the claims . accordingly , we affirm dismissal of their claims .

in the proceedings below , plaintiffs submitted to the district court a copy of the court order sealing alvarado ' s and flores ' s names and addresses , and kob - tv submitted a certified transcript of excerpts of the audio portion of at least some of the broadcasts in question and a dvd containing copies of those broadcasts . in a hearing on the motion , the court acknowledged it had reviewed the transcript of the broadcasts . kob - tv described some aspects of the video for the court , arguing that flores ' s image was too fuzzy to identify him , and that the broadcasts never gave the addresses of either flores or alvarado . plaintiffs argued that they needed an opportunity to conduct discovery on
all of the broadcasts , exactly what they . . . released ,
adding that they were
not sure [ kob - tv ] produced all of them .
