knew it to be untrue. UJI 13-1003. We find nothing in Bernstein’s deposition to indicate that he knew the statements to be untrue. To the contrary, Bernstein stated that the tension between the parties affected his relationship with both parties and he was inclined to take “steps backward” from both of them. He also described Defendant as an “elder statesman of anthropology and respected for the work he did amongst Huichol people.” Given this context, there is a factual dispute for the jury to resolve as to whether Bernstein knew the statements to be untrue. These statements should have gone to a jury. {28} As to the statement made to O’Donnell, it is too vague to be evaluated or found defamatory. Therefore, it is non-actionable. See Leyba v. Renger, 874 F.Supp. 1218, 1221 (D.N.M.1994) (<HOLDING>); Andrews, 119 N.M. at 485, 892 P.2d at 618
