California Court of Appeal

In case claiming city council meetings violated state law and state and federal constitutions, the sustaining of demurrer, grant of special motion to strike, and summary judgment in city's favor are affirmed where the majority of petitioners' action falls under the anti-SLAPP statute and arises from the protected activity of governmental speech and legislative action.
