Ramsey v. Harman, No. 07 CVD 333 (trial); (N.C. Dist. Ct., Madison Co. 2007).
Status: Trial court injunction vacated, No. COA07-1536, 2008 WL 2415127 (N.C. App. June 17, 2008).
Blogger Cindie Harman posted an entry on her website, bonifide.us, claiming that plaintiff Erin Knox was a school bully. Knox and her mother, Linda Ramsey, filed a complaint for stalking in the state court, and were granted a temporary civil restraining order. The trial court then held that Harman had harassed Knox, and made the restraining order permanent. On appeal the Court of Appeals vacated the injunction and the trial court’s finding that Harman had stalked the plaintiff, and dismissed the case.
