Hodge v. East Bay Express
Marcie Hodge (appellant) brought an action for defamation against the East Bay Express (the Express), a weekly news publication; Robert Gammon, the writer of an Express column called “Full Disclosure”; and Stephen Buel, the Express’s then editor (collectively respondents). The trial court granted respondents’ special motion to strike the complaint, pursuant to the provisions of California’s anti-strategic lawsuit against public participation (anti-SLAPP) statute (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16).[1] Appellant now appeals, contending she showed a probability of prevailing on the merits and that, therefore, the court erred in granting the anti-SLAPP motion and dismissing her complaint. We shall affirm the judgment.
