Sharp Grossmont Hosp. v. Moreno
Sharp Grossmont Hospital (Grossmont) appeals from a judgment of dismissal after the trial court granted respondent's special motion to strike its complaint under the anti-SLAPP statute and awarded respondent his attorney fees and costs. Respondent moves to dismiss the appeal as untimely.
Court concluded that to the extent Grossmont attempts to challenge the order granting the anti-SLAPP motion, its notice of appeal was untimely and court lack jurisdiction to entertain that challenge. Court also concluded that Grossmont's timely appeal from the judgment setting the amount of attorney fees does not confer jurisdiction on this court to reconsider the trial court's earlier ruling on the anti-SLAPP motion. Accordingly, court affirmed the judgment.
