Novins v. Cannon (Letter) [1]

On January, 30, 2009, Charles Novins, an attorney in New Jersey, sent a letter to Kevin A. Cannon stating that he was planning to file a lawsuit against Cannon, Cannon's employer TSB Bearings, Inc., and several others who were not named, for "libelous internet postings, tortious interference with business, and a host of other claims." 

The letter demanded the retraction of all defamatory postings in "Usenet group <alt.usenet.kooks [2]>," and any other "cross-posted group," in order to "reduce potential liability." [3]  The letter did not specifically identify any of the allegedly defamatory postings made by Cannon.

On February 13, 2009, Novins filed suit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Ocean County.  For details, see CMLP's related database entry, Novins v. Cannon (Lawsuit) [4].
