APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT



[1]

For reasons given in C52486, appeal of Nadejda Ryabikhina is dismissed. 
    Elena Ryabikhina makes allegations against the respondent physician.  Elena is
    not a plaintiff in this action and has no standing in this appeal in her own
    right.  Moreover, given the nature of the defamation claim, the respondent
  could not respond without mentioning Elenas name.

Appeal dismissed.  Costs to the respondent fixed at $5,000 inclusive of
    disbursements and applicable taxes.
