Description

Susan Golding and Jamie Brierton were candidates for election to the San Diego City Council. Golding won and Brierton sued her and George Gorton, a campaign helper, for conspiracy and libel arising out of the last-minute mailing to the electorate of a four-page brochure including a page reciting allegations of "violations of trust" and "improprieties" based on conservatorship proceedings involving Brierton. The court granted Goldings and Gortons motions for summary judgment, dismissed the complaint and awarded attorney fees to Golding. Brierton appeals. We affirm dismissal of the complaint and reverse the attorney fee award.
