La Grange v. Ward CA2/7
This is the second appeal in this malicious prosecution action. In the underlying action two plaintiffs sued their employer and his wife for employment discrimination and harassment. One plaintiff prevailed against the employer, the other did not, and neither plaintiff prevailed against the employer’s wife, who subsequently filed this action for malicious prosecution against the plaintiff who did not prevail against the employer. The unsuccessful plaintiff in the underlying action, the defendant in the action for malicious prosecution, filed a special motion to strike under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, commonly referred to as an anti-SLAPP motion. The trial court denied the motion in part (declining to strike the malicious prosecution cause of action), and we affirmed. (La Grange v. Tran (Nov. 12, 2015, B255835) [nonpub. opn.] (La Grange I).)
