In a case against the city and county for violation of plaintiffs civil rights in connection with arrest and prosecution, judgment granting defendant-city's anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) motion to strike plaintiff's complaint is affirmed over claims that: 1) the court erred in concluding that defendants' statements, made in the course and scope of their duties as police officers, were not protected by the anti-SLAPP statute; and 2) court erred when it did not grant plaintiff's request for leave to amend the complaint to state a claim under 42 United States Code section 1983.
