US District Judge Lesley Wells this week dismissed in its entirety a suit brought against the
Scene by Dr. Edward Patrick. Patrick had argued that a
2004 article by Thomas Francis falsely suggested his resume was misleading, his medical credentials were not valid, and that his board certification process was fraudulent. The doctor sought compensation for defamation, invasion of privacy by disclosure of private facts, and false light invasion of privacy, all of which were thrown out by the court.
