Advincula v. City of Hesperia
Plaintiff Karen Advincula filed this action against multiple defendants, including the City of Hesperia (the City) and five of the Citys code enforcement officers (Tony Genovesi, Paula Winter, Paul Kleinsmith, Theresa Yeates and Ernie Perea).[1] She claimed that a neighbor, known to her only as George, had reported her to the City because she had refused his demand that she build a block wall and because he did not like the color of her shed. In response to Georges reports, the individual City defendants obtained inspection and abatement warrants and executed them without probable cause. She asserted federal causes of action for violation of her civil rights (42 U.S.C. 1983, 1985(3)), as well as state law causes of action. The trial court granted the City defendants special motion to strike (SLAPP motion) pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (SLAPP statute) and dismissed the complaint as against them.
