The court also found that Mignogna had failed to establish, by clear and specific evidence, a prima facie case for each element of defamation, tortious interference with existing contracts, tortious interference with prospective business relations, and civil conspiracy against all defendants, as well as vicarious liabilty against Funimation.
The court dismissed Mignogna’s five remaining claims against the defendants, for a total of 17 dismissed claims between Friday’s ruling and a ruling on September 6.
Chupp also dismissed Mignogna’s allegations that Funimation participated in tortious interference and civil conspiracy on September 6.
Judge Chupp dismissed all of Vic Mignogna’s case against voice actress Jamie Marchi on September 6 as well as Mignogna’s case of tortious interference of existing contracts and tortious interference of business relations allegations against Rial and Toye on September 6.
