counterclaim. We REMAND this cause for a determination of CaptureRx’s court costs and
reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in defending against Brooke Gilmartin’s intentional infliction
counterclaim. We AFFIRM the trial court’s denial of CaptureRx’s motion to dismiss Brooke
Gilmartin’s request for sanctions.
