C.A. 4th
D060906

The Fourth Appellate District affirmed an order denying a special motion to strike and imposed sanctions for a frivolous appeal. The court held that attorneys sued for malicious prosecution were subject to sanctions for bringing a meritless, frivolous appeal of the denial of their anti-SLAPP motion to strike where they misrepresented the record and ignored established case law in advancing arguments that lacked any support in law or fact.
