Littlefield v. Littlefield

Holding

The court held that the defendants failed to satisfy their burden of showing that Allison Littlefield’s petition arose from protected activity under the anti‑SLAPP statute; consequently, the special motion to strike was properly denied. Because the motion was deemed frivolous, the court also held that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to award attorney’s fees to the prevailing plaintiff‑appellant, and it reversed that portion of the judgment, remanding for a fee determination. ---
