Sahagun v. Morales CA4/2
Plaintiff and appellant Rosa Elena Sahagun filed a petition under the civil harassment statute Code of Civil Procedure section 527.16 (Petition) to enjoin defendant and appellant Rogelio V. Morales from contacting or harassing her and seeking a stay-away order. It alleged one cause of action of harassment, which was based on conduct by Morales posting threatening messages on her Facebook page and for using Facebook accounts under the name of Cali Rave Cartel to post threatening messages. In response, Morales filed his special motion to strike petition for civil harassment restraining orders pursuant to section 425.16 (anti-SLAPP motion). The trial court stated that it was “granting” the anti-SLAPP motion in part and denying it in part. It found that posts by Morales himself were protected communication but found that posts from Cali Rave Cartel were not protected communication.
