Furthermore, although it was a closer question as to whether the litigation
             privilege applied to the actions C commenced in the federal District
             Court and the Norwegian court, this court concluded that, under the
             circumstances of this case, affording C absolute immunity was unwar-
             ranted because the plaintiff was not a party to C’s actions, the plaintiff’s
             claims were not premised on any statement made in those actions but,
             rather, on conduct that occurred outside of the actions, namely, the
             alleged conspiracy to interfere with the sale of N Co. and to drive down
             the sale price of S Co.’s shares in N Co., the allegedly fraudulent conduct
             did not commence during those actions, and C’s actions were not the
             sole basis for or even central to the plaintiff’s claims against the defen-
             dants but, rather, constituted but one facet of a broader extrajudicial con-
             spiracy. Argued November 14, 2023—officially released May 28, 2024 Procedural History
