For the reasons stated above, CNN's motion for reconsideration is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part and CNN's motion for certification under 28 U.S.C. 1292(b) is DENIED. On reconsideration, the Court voids the portion of Flynn I which held that the Flynns plausibly alleged that CNN was negligent for purposes of their defamation claim. Because the Court dismissed the Flynns' defamation claim on alternative grounds, granting CNN's motion to reconsider on this ground does not impact the Court's ultimate holding in Flynn I. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion pending at Dkt No. 49. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 8/12/2022) (tg)
