California Court of Appeal

In proceedings arising after the superior court found petitioner in contempt for refusing to comply with an order to answer questions at a judgment debtor's examination, resulting from an underlying judgment awarding attorney fees against the attorney and her then-client, after a special motion to strike the client's complaint was granted, attorney's petition for relief from the order is granted as the anti-SLAPP statute does not authorize and award of attorney fees against plaintiff's counsel and thus, the underlying judgment is void as to the attorney.
