       As stated in the Court’s opinion of this date, we find reversible error in the judgment of the
court below.    In summary we (A) dismiss the appellees’ cross appeal, if any, for lack of
jurisdiction; (B) reverse the trial court’s order and render a judgment of dismissal as to Pamela K.
Long’s claim for invasion of privacy; (C) reverse the trial court’s order and render a judgment of
dismissal as to the libel per se claims of Stacy A. Long and Nichole Hamilton; and (D) affirm the
trial court’s order denying appellant’s motion to dismiss Pamela K. Long’s libel per se claim as to
the demand letters.
       We further order that the appellees pay all costs of this appeal.
