3420 REVIEW DENIED An action brought under the Unfair Competition Law based on alleged mishandling of claims by an insurer does not arise from an act in furtherance of the insurer's constitutional right to petition or free expression in connection with a public issue and is not subject to the anti-SLAPP statute, even though the action was filed after, and the complaint alleges that, the insurer made certain statements in an official proceeding.CitationGALLIMORE v STATE FARM (Claims Mishandling SLAPP) 102 CA4 1388 [See: CCP 425.16; B&PC 17200 etseq; Wilcox v Superior Court 27 CA4 809, T/AT 9/94; City of Cotati v Cashman 29 C4 69, T/AT 10/02]
