Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Florida

(February 24, 2016)

Before TJOFLAT, HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: 

USCA11 Case: 15-10744 Date Filed: 02/24/2016 Page: 1 of 2
2

Jack LeFrock, M.D., appeals the summary judgment the District Court 

granted Walgreen Co., on his state law claims for slander. Doc. 51. His principal 

argument is that the court misapplied the Florida law in holding that the statements 

Walgreen’s pharmacists made to his patients while filling their prescriptions were 

privileged. We find no error. The statements were privileged, and LeFrock 

presented no evidence to show that they were made with malice.

AFFIRMED.
