The following excerpt is from Wentner v. Ridgewood Energy Corp., 1995 WL 470866, 62 F.3d 1427 (9th Cir. 1995):
7 We assume without deciding that these statements meet the publication requirement of a defamation claim because it was foreseeable to Ridgewood that Wentner would "repeat these slanders to third parties;" i.e., when interviewing for future jobs.
