Defendants. 

Case No. 18CV3122 

Order Granting Plaintiff’s Motion For Summary Judgment 

This Court having considered the following: 

On April 30, 2019, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and supporting materials

(Docs. 101-106, 117-122), that Defendant Fetzer and Defendant Palecek defamed 

Plaintiff by publishing the following statements in the 2016 edition of NOBODY DIED AT SANDY HOOK: 

• “Noah Pozner’s death certificate is a fake, which we have proven on a dozen or more grounds.” 
• “[Mr. Pozner] sent her a death certificate, which turned out to be a fabrication.” 
• “As many Sandy Hook researchers are aware, the very document Pozner circulated in 2014, with its inconsistent tones, fonts, and clear digital manipulation, was clearly a forgery.” 

Plaintiff’s Motion additionally sought Summary Judgment that Defendant Fetzer defamed Plaintiff by publishing the following statement from a 2018 blog post: 

• “It [N.P.’s death certificate] turned out to be a fabrication, with the bottom half of a real death certificate and the top half of a fake, with no file number and the wrong estimated time of death at 11 AM, when ‘officially’ the shooting took place between 9:35-9:40 that morning.” 

Defendant Fetzer filed a Response and supporting materials

(Docs. 176-184, 190-191, 193, 195-198) which Mr. Palecek sought to join

(Docs. 210-212). Plaintiff filed a Reply (Doc. 206) 

on June 12, 2019. 

Defendant Fetzer filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and supporting materials

(Docs. 100, 136-137). Plaintiff filed a Response and supporting materials (Docs. 169-172) and 

Defendant Fetzer filed a Reply on June 12 (Doc. 207).

The parties filed associated motions to strike certain evidence and responses thereto

(Docs. 185-186 (Defendant Fetzer’s motions), 202-205 (Plaintiff’s motions)).

The Court thereafter heard oral argument on June 17, 2019.
