3524 REVIEW DENIED An action for fraud based on the claims that defendant had no intention of refraining from litigation when executing a general release and that damage resulted from defendant's subsequent institution of litigation barred by the release arose from defendant's institution of litigation, and the anti-SLAPP statute therefore applied to it; the litigation privilege prevents plaintiff from making out a prima facie case in an action arising from defendant's institution of litigation.CitationNAVELLIER v SLETTEN (Release SLAPP) 106 CA4 763 [See: CCP 425.16; Navellier v Sletten 29 C4 82, T/AT 10/02; Rubin v Green 4 C4 1187, T/AT 5/93; Merlet v Rizzo 64 CA4 53 T/AT 6/98]
