Liu v. Wang CA2/11
Defendants appeal from an order denying their special motion to strike plaintiff’s complaint under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, the anti-SLAPP statute. The trial court denied the anti-SLAPP motion under the first step of the statutory analysis on the ground that, because defendants’ settlement demand letter constituted extortion as a matter of law, plaintiff’s claims did not arise from constitutionally protected speech or activities under section 425.16. We reverse.
