California Court of Appeal

In case arising from alleged invasion of privacy and defamation of high school principal, dismissal of action under the anti-SLAPP statute is affirmed over claims that the trial court erred in: 1) finding the dismissed causes of action arose from defendants- constitutionally protected speech activity; 2) finding plaintiff failed to demonstrate a probability of prevailing on either claim; 3) its evidentiary rulings that struck numerous statements from the two declarations plaintiff submitted in opposition to the anti-SLAPP motion; and 4) its award of attorney fees to defendants.
