Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Oetken dismisses a pro se woman's claim that the New York Times defamed her in an article titled "A Vast Web of Vengeance" by describing her as a mentally ill woman who made anonymous internet posts accusing those who have slighted her of pedophilia, fraud, and other offenses. The articles clearly reported on the Canadian judicial proceedings against the woman. Even if these charges were withdrawn after the article was published, that does not retroactively render The Time's coverage defamatory.
