SLAPP 101

Kenne v. Stennis, No. B242262 (D2d5 Oct. 21, 2014)

Unsurprisingly, a complaint based on making false police reports and filing meritless civil harassment petitions arises from protected activity, for anti-SLAPP purposes. Similarly unsurprising is that the plaintiff could not show a probability of success because her claims were barred by the litigation privilege in Civil Code § 47(b), as well as other policy-based privileges. 

Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
