O'Malley v. Karkhanis (Letter) [1]

Through her lawyer, O'Malley sent Karkhanis a cease-and-desist letter on April 18, 2007. According to the letter, the March 12, 2007 edition of Karkhanis's newsletter contained false and defamatory statements about O'Malley, including allegations that she is obsessed with recruiting and saving the jobs of "terrorists" and doesn't worry about advocating for the rights of "ordinary" adjunct staff. The letter also claimed that prior editions of the newsletter contained "similar defamatory statements." O'Malley demanded that Karkhanis retract his comments about her.

Karkhanis refused to comply, and O'Malley filed suit in December 2007 (see related the related CMLP database entry, O'Malley v. Karkhanis [3]).
