Victor Balletta, Michael Reis and Michael Proetto showed up at a Northampton County Sheriff's Sale in 2008 with bulging sandwich bags full of silver and gold. Their bids were ignored by Deputy Sheriff Dave Ruberry and Assistant County Solicitor Chris Spadoni.
Ruberry told The Morning Call this trio were "anarchists," "paper terrorists," and possible members of the Sovereign Citizens movement. A little more conciliatory, Spadoni called them "opportunists."
Both Ruberry and Spadoni were sued for defamation.
Yesterday, a three-judge panel of the Commonwealth Court dismissed their lawsuit. The Opinion was penned by Judge Robert "Robin" Simposn, a former Northampton County judge.
Judge Simpson ruled that Ruberry and Spadoni, as County officials being sued in their official capacity, are immune. But he also adds that, as a matter of law, there was no defamation.
