Janus Services v. Jovaag
This appeal is one in a series of appeals brought by Jory A. Jovaag related to the termination of her 29-year purported common-law marriage to Donald Ott, and Ms. Jovaag’s action against Mr. Ott over the division of the couple’s jointly held property.[1]
The present appeal is of the trial court’s order granting Janus Services, LLC’s (Janus) special motion to strike (“anti-SLAPP†motion) against Ms. Jovaag, and dismissing Ms. Jovaag’s cross-complaint against Janus. Ms. Jovaag, who is proceeding in propria persona, asserts on appeal that the trial court erred in granting Janus’ anti-SLAPP motion, because it applied the wrong legal standard under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16.
