California Court of Appeal

An order denying a special motion to strike a cause of action for defamation asserted by defendant-homeowner in a dispute with a homeowners association is reversed where the allegedly defamatory publication came within the scope of the litigation privilege, and thus, there was no possibility that defendant could prevail in her cause of action.
