   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2184
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Torts. Plaintiff failed to state a claim for tortious 
   interference as it could not establish that defendant used improper means 
   to advance its own interests; under Missouri law, for a statement to be 
   actionable as an injurious falsehood, it must be defamatory, and plaintiff 
   failed to plead the alleged defamatory statements with the necessary 
   particularity; in any event, the statements plaintiff relied on were 
   either true statements of fact or protected opinion and were not 
   defamatory as a matter of law.
