Pressler v. Mills (Lawsuit) [1]

Sheldon H. Pressler, a principal of the law firm Pressler & Pressler LLP, sued Scott Mills, publisher of the CAIPNJ [2] blog, for defamation in New Jersey state court.  The complaint also named CAIPNJ.org and CAIPNJRadio as defendants.  Pressler alleges that Mills made false and defamatory statements on his blog and Internet radio show about Pressler and his business activities.  Pressler has moved the court for an order permanently enjoining the defendants from libeling him, requiring them to publish a retraction on the first page of the CAIPNJ.org website, and to publicly retract them during radio broadcasts.
