Hames v. Citi Properties
Defendant Citi Properties I DE, LLC (Citi) appeals from the denial of its special motion to strike plaintiff Kelly Hamess complaint as a strategic lawsuit against public participation pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (the anti-SLAPP statute). Although the trial courts order does not state the grounds for denying the motion, the tentative ruling to which it adhered indicated that the court did not consider Hamess complaint to be based on protected activity, and that even if it were, Hames made a prima facie showing that she would prevail in the action. Court disagree with both conclusions and shall reverse.
