Galustian v. Peter, No. 09-1069

An order dismissing plaintiff's defamation suit for forum non conveniens is reversed in part and vacated and remanded where: 1) denial of plaintiff's motion to amend to join another defendant is reversed as the district court abused its discretion in preventing plaintiff's amendment as of right; and 2) dismissal of the case for forum non conveniens as to defendant is vacated as the ruling was premature because another defendant was rightfully added as a defendant.
