Op needs to understand the plaintiff is protected by privilege when filing a suit and testifying in court. That defeats a claim of defamation. Op needs to defend himself if he is named as a defendant in the suit or otherwise called to testify. Otherwise there isn’t anything for him to do.
Are you aware that the OP is not named as a respondent or party to the RO application? If so, do you know of any competent legal authority that would extend the litigation privilege to cover allegations slandering a person having no interest in the proceedings?

Also, if so, how would you propose to show that the libelous per se misconduct allegedly attributed to the OP in any way serves to achieving the object of the litigation; to-wit: the issuance of a protective order enjoining the complained conduct of another person.
