Ivy Liu Court Decision, Feb 2024
Ivy Liu Defeated Again in Court
El Paso County Judge David Gilbert on Thursday, Feb. 22, granted the District 49 defendants a full dismissal to Ivy Liu’s case alleging defamation. Gilbert made the decision before the case even proceeded to evidentiary hearings, or a jury trial.
As part of his order to dismiss Liu’s suit, Judge Gilbert declared that former member of the D49 board of education did not come close to establishing clear and convincing evidence or actual malice. He dismissed Liu’s case in its entirety and directed the defendants to file to recover court costs and attorney’s fees from Liu.
Along with her most recent legal defeat, Liu is retaliating against D49 leaders with a series of deceptive accusations posted across multiple platforms, websites, and mailed directly to many community groups. These attacks attempt to damage the district by loudly reporting and repeating unverified claims, distorting facts and manufacturing outright lies.
