California Court of Appeal

In an action alleging plaintiff was sexually harassed in his employment at the University of California at Davis, denial of defendant-manager's motion to strike a civil rights cause of action is reversed, and the matter is remanded for an award of attorney's fees for her, where her statements and conduct as a hearing officer denying plaintiff's administrative grievances were protected by the anti-SLAPP statute.
