The mother of Natalee Holloway wants a federal judge to reject a media company's motion to dismiss her federal lawsuit.
Elizabeth Holloway's response to the dismissal motion by Oxygen Media claims the alleged conduct was fraudulent and outrageous and has no place in a civil society.
Holloway filed a $35 million dollar lawsuit against Oxygen Media over the six part series "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway."
Her lawsuit claims the series contained gruesome depictions of Natalee's death and that the defendants obtained Elizabeth Holloway's DNA under false pretenses.
Oxygen Media claimed first amendment protection in asking the judge to dismiss the lawsuit.
