Inman v. Bechtold CA6
Plaintiff Ronald Jerrell Inman appeals from an order striking his complaint against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and Steven J. Bechtold, under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, the anti-SLAPP statute. Representing himself throughout these proceedings, plaintiff contends that the lower court erred in striking his complaint because the conduct it alleged did not constitute free speech and was not privileged under Civil Code section 47. We agree with defendants, however, that their disclosure of plaintiff’s mental health records in his underlying habeas corpus proceeding met the criteria for protection under section 425.16. Accordingly, we must affirm the order.
