Goleco v. Cal. Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilita
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) appeals from the order denying its special motion to strike Christopher Goleco’s first amended complaint for violation of Labor Code section 1102.5 et seq. (whistleblower retaliation) and for failure to comply with an order of the State Personnel Board (SPB) awarding him back pay and lost employee benefits as a result of his wrongful termination by CDCR. The trial court ruled neither of Goleco’s claims, although related to his underlying lawsuit, arose from protected speech or petitioning activity within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (section 425.16). We affirm.
