Anti-SLAPP motions are sometimes called early summary judgment motions. But the fact that they are “early” is why they are so powerful: not only do they provide defendants a quick way to defend against claims that involve speech, they force the plaintiff to prove its case without any discovery.
On this episode of the California Appellate Law Podcast, we discuss a recent 9th Circuit decision holding that denials of anti-SLAPP motions are immediately appealable as collateral orders. We also discuss:
- Judge Bress’s criticism of the cases treating anti-SLAPP denials as collateral.
- Anti-SLAPP motions were designed for the powerless, but the City of Inglewood successful used it to strike an employee’s retaliation complaint.
- How you can lose your arbitration if you don’t pay the arbitrator fees in 30 days—and “the check is in the mail” doesn’t cut it.
- A judgment issued in a sum not previously noticed is void and may be set aside at any time, but a sanctions order issued without notice is merely voidable, and may be set aside only within 6 months.
- Filing a notice of appeal in Los Angeles County Superior Court? Now you can pay your fees online. (Finally!)
