Summary
This document is a page from the Federal Supplement (Vol. 349, 2d Series) containing the header of a decision in the case *Lawrence Agee v. Richard Grunert, et al.* (D. Vermont, 2004). The case involves a physician suing his former partners for defamation and other torts after they reported his mental unfitness to practice; the court largely ruled in favor of the defendants, finding their statements privileged and required by ethics codes. The top of the page also contains the conclusion of a separate, unrelated case involving the 'SAAR Network' and 'Adel Batterjee' (likely the *Burnett* 9/11 litigation), and the footer indicates the document is part of a House Oversight Committee production.
