Vilutis v. NRG Solar Alpine LLC CA2/3
Plaintiff Gintaras Vilutis (plaintiff) appeals from the trial court’s order granting defendant NRG Solar Alpine LLC’s (Solar Alpine) special motion to strike his complaint under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (anti-SLAPP statute). Solar Alpine operates an alternating current photovoltaic energy generating facility (solar farm) in Antelope Valley; plaintiff hoped to obtain a contract to sell trees to Solar Alpine for use in its required community remediation efforts. To that end, plaintiff attended a public meeting of the Fairmont Town Council at which Solar Alpine presented its annual report to the community. Plaintiff’s claims against Solar Alpine arise from a hostile verbal exchange between plaintiff and another community member that occurred during the course of the meeting.
