3061 Under the Civil Code, a plaintiff can have only one cause of action for a privacy or defamation tort based on a single publication, so an assertion of several such claims in a complaint should be treated as a single cause of action pleaded on several theories, and if the plaintiff can establish a prima facie case on any of those theories, an anti-SLAPP motion should be denied.CitationMG v TIME WARNER (Little League) 89 CA4 623 [See: CCP 425.16; CivC 3425.3; Sipple v Foundation 71 CA4 226, T/AT 5/99; Wilcox v Superior Court 27 CA4 809, T/AT 9/94 3042; Shekhter v Financial Indemnity 89 CA4 141, T/AT 6/00]
