Nguyen v. Tran
David K. Tran, Phuoc Vu, and Hoan Pham, appeal from an order denying their special motion to strike[1] a defamation action filed against them by the Nguyen family, after Vu and Pham, represented by Tran, obtained a substantial jury verdict against them. They contend the trial court erred in concluding the action did not arise out of protected activity. Court conclude the Nguyens complaint arose out of protected activity by Tran, Vu, and Pham, and the Nguyens failed to demonstrate a probability of prevailing. Accordingly, we reverse the order and remand with directions to grant the special motion to strike the defamation and related tort causes of action against Tran, Vu, and Pham.
