Description
PER CURIAM: This action brings before us the state of the law in the District of Columbia with respect to proceedings in malicious
prosecution. We affirm the action of the trial court granting summary judgment for the appellees. In August of 1972, Mrs. Pauline Newman brought a medical malpractice action against appellant after the death of her husband
while under appellant's care. Mrs. Newman alleged that appellant had negligently failed to reveal to her husband the risks
inherent in the performance of a diagnostic test known as a pneumoencephalogram. Following the entry of a directed verdict
in his favor appellant brought the instant action for malicious prosecution against the parties to the malpractice suit, including
Jay Freedman and Alvin Davis, Mrs. Newman's attorneys. Drawing inferences from the fact that Mr. Freedman is Mrs. Newman's
son-in-law, appellant contends that he, and by association, Mr. Davis, were intimately involved in the deliberations which
led to the allegedly non-meritorious claim. By an order dated June 3, 1976, the motions of Freedman and Davis for summary
judgment were granted. The present appeal is taken from that order. This appeal brings before us for review only the summary
judgment orders with respect to Freedman and Davis; therefore, Mrs. Newman herself is not a party.
