Martello v. Merliss CA2/1
Defendant and appellant Jeannette Martello challenges the trial court’s denial of her special motion to strike a cause of action pursuant to the anti-SLAPP statute. (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16.) Martello performed surgery on plaintiff and respondent Stella Madrid to repair injuries Madrid suffered from a faulty garage door. After Madrid filed suit against her landlord and the garage door manufacturer, Martello filed a notice of lien against the proceeds of the lawsuit. Madrid, represented by her attorney, Joshua Merliss, then sued Martello for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage (IIPEA), and Martello filed an anti-SLAPP motion. Martello alleges that the trial court erred in finding that Madrid had shown a probability of succeeding on the merits of her claim. We affirm.
