WALDEN v. PETROLEUM TRANSIT COMPANY

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
May 2, 1966

PER CURIAM:

Upon consideration of the record, we are fully persuaded that the letter complained of, written by defendant to plaintiff's employer, was a qualifiedly privileged communication. As there was no evidence of malice, it cannot be the basis of a recovery. We are therefore obliged to reverse the judgment for the plaintiff and order judgment to be entered in favor of the defendant.

Reversed.
