California Court of Appeal

In this case, plaintiff filed a complaint in interpleader against defendant and filed a motion for discharge from the interpleader action and an award of attorney fees. Defendant filed an anti-SLAPP motion in response. Order granting the discharge motion and denying the anti-SLAPP motion is affirmed, where: 1) plaintiff met its burden of showing a probability it would prevail on the merits of its interpleader action; and 2) the record on appeal does not support defendant’s contention that the court’s order granting the discharge motion violated his right to due process.
