Detamore v. Jain CA2/1
In a dispute involving several defendants, the plaintiffs alleged that one of the defendants, Devon Wheeler, sought a permit from the City of Los Angeles that should not be granted. Another defendant, Suresh C. Jain; Suresh & Usha Jain Living Trust 2003; and Pico 12300, LLC (collectively Jain), moved to strike the allegation as a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP), arguing that because plaintiffs alleged elsewhere in the complaint that all defendants conspired to interfere with the plaintiffs’ business, this particular allegation constituted a strategic claim against the moving defendants’ public participation. The trial court denied the motion on the ground that the plaintiffs asserted no claim against the moving defendant based on the allegation. We agree and affirm.
