Input (English): 605 N.E.2d 344; accord Albert, 239 F.3d at 271. To find that a statement qualifies as one that tends to injure another in his or her “trade, business, or profession,” the statement “must be made with reference to a matter of significance and importance for [the operation of the business], rather than a more general reflection upon the plaintiffs character or qualities.” Liberman, 80 N.Y.2d at 436, 590 N.Y.S.2d 857, 605 N.E.2d 344. The allegedly defamatory statement must be targeted at the specific standards of performance relevant to the plaintiffs business and must impute conduct that is “of a kind incompatible with the proper conduct of the business, trade, profession or office itself.” Id.; see also Aronson v. Wiersma, 65 N.Y.2d 592, 593, 493 N.Y.S.2d 1006, 483 N.E.2d 1138 (1985) (<HOLDING>); Van-Go Transp. Co. Inc. v. New York City Bd.
