Asset Management Consultants v. Stella CA2/7
Michael Stella and Pamela Stella appeal from the order denying their special motion to strike under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (section 425.16) directed to the three causes of action (for breach of contract, express indemnity and declaratory relief) asserted in the complaint against them filed by Asset Management Consultants, Inc. (AMC) and seven affiliated limited liability companies that served as the general partners of limited partnerships in which the Stellas purchased investment interests (collectively AMC parties). The trial court ruled none of the AMC parties’ claims, based on allegations the Stellas had breached representations and warranties made in connection with their investments, arose from protected speech or petitioning activity within the meaning of section 425.16. We affirm.
