Putnam v. South Coast Emergency Vehicle Service
Defendants South Coast Emergency Vehicle Service, South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc., and Jeff Kahler (hereafter referred collectively to as South Coast) appeal from the trial court’s denial of their anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) motion (Code Civ. Proc.,[1] § 425.16). Defendants contend that each of the causes of action in plaintiff Donald Putnam’s complaint arose in whole or in substantial part from protected statements, and Putnam has not shown the likelihood of prevailing on the merits of his claims. We agree with defendants’ contentions, and we reverse.
