Civ. A. No. 83-932.

569 F.Supp. 614 (1983)

SCHIAVONE CONSTRUCTION CO. and Ronald A. Schiavone, Plaintiffs, v. TIME INCORPORATED, Defendant.

United States District Court, D. New Jersey.

August 13, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Connell, Foley & Geiser, Theodore W. Geiser, and Thomas S. Cosma, Newark, N.J., for plaintiffs.

Winne, Banta & Rizzi by Donald A. Klein, Hackensack, N.J., for defendant.

OPINION

STERN, District Judge.

Plaintiffs Schiavone Construction Co. and Ronald A. Schiavone bring this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332, contending that defendant Time, Inc. published a defamatory statement about them in the August 23, 1982 issue of Time magazine. Since we find that publication of the statement is privileged as a fair and accurate report of an official action or proceeding, the complaint will be dismissed.
