Hooshmand v. Griffin CA1/1
Attorney Mark Hooshmand sued a former client, Karleen Latorya Griffin, over negative internet postings Griffin made after she became unhappy with Hooshmand’s handling of a lawsuit against her landlord. Griffin made a special motion to strike under the anti-SLAPP statute (Code of Civ. Proc., § 425.16), which the trial court denied as to Hooshmand’s causes of action for libel per se and false light (and for injunctive relief associated with these two claims) and granted as to Hooshmand’s cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Griffin appeals as to the libel and false light claims; Hooshmand cross-appeals as to the intentional infliction of emotional distress claim. We affirm.
