Valle v. Aguilar
Elio Antonio Valle sued Yolanda Aguilar for defamation. Aguilar filed a special motion pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, known as the anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) statute, to strike Valles defamation claim. The trial court denied the motion and Aguilar appeals. Court conclude that the conduct underlying the defamation claim is protected under the anti-SLAPP statute and that the statute of limitations prevents Valle from establishing a probability of prevailing on his claim. Court therefore reverse the judgment.
