Richmond Compassionate Care Collective v. 7 Stars Holistic Foundation, Inc., No. A153305 (D1d2 Feb. 21, 2019).
We talk a lot about the kinds of activity that fall around the edges of protection under the anti-SLAPP law. Here’s something that clearly isn’t: When the operators of the three incumbent marijuana dispensaries in a city conspire to engage in fraud, intimidation, and other skullduggery to prevent any commercial landlord in their city from renting any space to a potential fourth competitor. That might violate the Cartwright Act, the Sherman Act, the UCL, and maybe even RICO. But it’s not protected activity.
Affirmed.
