Xu v. Ghigliotti
Defendant and appellant Jerome J. Ghigliotti, Jr. appeals from an order of the trial court denying his special motion to strike under the anti-SLAPP statute. (Code Civ. Proc., 425.16.)[1] He contends plaintiffs and respondents, Hua Cao Xu and Xue Ying Zhong, failed to satisfy their burden of demonstrating a probability of prevailing on the merits of their malicious prosecution action against him, because they failed to make a prima facie showing both that the underlying unlawful detainer actions were either initiated or continued without probable cause and that he acted with malice. Court disagree and shall affirm the order.
