What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ny
someone made some defamatory statements about me
i reported her to people who I asked to take appropriate action, and who has authority and perhaps responsibility to overlook her conduct (think school official, manager, dean, etc.), but they did not do anything about it. he was aware the situation was serious and that i already tried to resolve things with the person but could not, and that the person would continue her defamatory acts. he did not even pass along the complaint. can i sue the person who was overlooking the conduct of the person who defamed me for "negligence"?
thanks
