U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Chief Judge Smith and Judge Kelly,
Circuit Judges) Civil Case Diversity - Slander of Title. After a prior
lien holder erroneously executed a deed of release, the subsequent
purchaser of the property brought a slander of title action against the
lien holder. The district court properly granted summary judgment,
concluding the error was not malicious; as the error was made in the
normal course of duties, the employees notified the parties that the error
would be corrected and the error was in fact corrected.
