Anselmo v. Mull
Plaintiff Reverge Anselmo, owner of plaintiff Seven Hills Land and Cattle Company, LLC (sometimes collectively, Anselmo), tangled with defendants County of Shasta and its Board of Supervisors (County), the Shasta County Assessor-Recorder, two county supervisors, and a county employee over the propriety of Anselmo's actions in clearing his land. Anselmo filed an action alleging civil rights violations against defendants. Defendants filed a motion to strike pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16.[1]
The trial court denied the motion, finding that although defendants sustained their burden of proving the complained-of activity was within the scope of conduct subject to a special motion to strike, Anselmo had established a prima facie case showing facts that demonstrated a probability of prevailing. Defendants appeal, contending their actions do not rise to the level of constitutional violations. We shall affirm the judgment.
