Wilbanks V. Wolk

This is an appeal from an order granting a special motion to strike a complaint as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, and awarding defendant her attorney fees. We find that the suit was subject to the special motion to dismiss, requiring plaintiffs to establish a reasonable probability of prevailing on the merits. We further find that plaintiffs made the requisite showing. We therefore reverse.
