murtha defamation case

while the article says "Neither Murtha, DoJ nor US House General Counsel" filed an appeal, someone did. in 2009, a appellate court determined this was a case bound by the winfield act.

I suspect it was US DoJ, but, i can't find anything convenient that says that but, at the same time the appellate decision is a matter of record.--Patbahn (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
