SEMO filed the instant action against BNSF, alleging the August 17 letter and August 20
email misrepresented the factual circumstances by asserting SEMO submitted fraudulent
invoices. As a result of the false allegations, SEMO alleged BNSF induced RJC to break its
contract with SEMO and ruined the subcontractor’s reputation within the railroad industry. On
January 5, 2022, the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of BNSF and against SEMO
on its claims against BNSF for libel/defamation, injurious falsehood, tortious interference, and
punitive damages. SEMO now appeals. Discussion Standard of Review
