Monterrosa v. Elimelech CA2/2
Appellant Jose Monterrosa (Monterrosa) appeals from the trial court’s orders granting special motions to strike his malicious prosecution complaint under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, the “anti-SLAPP statute.” We conclude that the instant malicious prosecution complaint arose from the filing of an earlier malicious prosecution complaint, which is protected activity under the statute, and that Monterrosa failed to show a probability of prevailing. Accordingly, we affirm the orders granting the anti-SLAPP motions. We also affirm the order awarding costs and attorney fees to two of the three defendants.
