Barnes & Noble Will Seek to Dismiss Ex-CEO's Defamation Claim - Publishers Weekly

Today, Panzer made a trip to the Publishers Weekly site. There our traveling kitty found a post about the lawsuit and counter-lawsuit between Barnes and Noble and the company's former CEO Demos Parneros. Panzer has been telling you about this court case since early last year.

According to the post by Andrew Albanese, Barnes and Noble's attorneys have petitioned the court to have portions of Demos Parneros' lawsuit dismissed. The former CEO said in his lawsuit against Barnes and Noble that his firing made people think he was fired for sexual harassment. However, the company says in the letter to the court that their press release stated he was fired for "violations of company policy" and "not due to any disagreement with the Company regarding its financial reporting, policies, or practices or any potential fraud relating thereto." The post includes four links to other posts about the ongoing court case.

It's never going to end.

Panzer says, "This little kitty doesn't understand Mr. Parneros lawsuit. If you follow the links in the post, you'll discover it wasn't the company, but Mr. Parneros, who in his court filings, is the one who brought out the fact part of the reason he was fired was because of sexual harassment allegations."

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow all the links in the post, bring a thermos of tea and four muffins.
