Carter v. Hunt Club Community Assn.
The parties have stipulated that the judgment in this anti SLAPP appeal be dismissed in order to facilitate a settlement, which calls for a joint application for a stipulated reversal of the trial court's rulings and related judgment.
Court accept the stipulation pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 128, subdivision (a)(8), and grant their request for a stipulated reversal. Court find that mutually negotiated settlements actually further the interests of the anti SLAPP statute, which is designed to promote the early resolution of lawsuits that drain the parties' resources. (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. v. Delfino (2005) 35 Cal.4th 180, 192 (Varian Medical Systems).) The parties have informed us that they have resolved the underlying dispute "and want it put behind them completely so that they can move on."
The order and judgment of dismissal based on the granting of the anti SLAPP motion is reversed pursuant to the parties' stipulation, and the remittitur shall immediately issue when this opinion becomes final in this court.
