San Diegans for Open Government v. San Diego State
In an anti-SLAPP Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 case within an underlying dispute alleging the contracts between a public broadcasting media and an independent nonprofit journalism organization violate statutory prohibitions on self-dealing involving public funds, the trial court's order granting the anti-SLAPP motions is affirmed over plaintiff's claim that assertion that the anti-SLAPP statute does not apply because its lawsuit targets unlawful self-dealing, not protected speech.
