Fourth Court of Appeals
                                       San Antonio, Texas
                                             JUDGMENT
                                           No. 04-22-00060-CV

                                        Christie Lynn TERRELL,
                                                 Appellant

                                                    v.

                                          Rashin MAZAHERI,
                                                Appellee

                        From the 408th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                     Trial Court No. 2021-CI-06326
                                 Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding 1

          BEFORE JUSTICE ALVAREZ, JUSTICE CHAPA, AND JUSTICE RODRIGUEZ

        In accordance with this court’s opinion of this date, the trial court’s order denying
Appellant Christie Lynn Terrell’s “Motion to Dismiss Under the Texas Citizens Participation Act”
is REVERSED IN PART. We RENDER an order dismissing Rashin Mazaheri’s defamation claim
based on the statement “I even have proof that [Mazaheri] is attempting to set hearings with the
court clerk without mine or my attorney’s knowledge.” The trial court’s order denying appellant’s
motion to dismiss is AFFIRMED in all other respects. As to the claim on which we render a
dismissal, we REMAND this case for a determination of costs and attorney’s fees under section
27.009 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Costs of appeal are taxed against the party
incurring same. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.4.

           SIGNED March 22, 2023.

                                                     _____________________________
                                                     Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
