"A plea for calm"

 


See B313842.PDF (ca.gov) for an interesting concluding message, titled A Plea for Calm:

A Plea for Calm  At the trial level and here on appeal, the parties’ “scorched earth” postures exude acrimony:  There have already been two appeals from anti-SLAPP rulings. We are hopeful that the law and motion wars will cease. The case should be settled or be tried.

Disposition  The orders denying appellants’ special motion to strike the eleventh cause of action and imposing sanctions of $8,750 for making a frivolous motion are affirmed. Respondents shall recover their costs on appeal.
