Case Summary

5011 REVIEW DENIED. The plaintiff alleged that her insurer and its attorney colluded against her during settlement negotiations in an underlying suit. The trial court improperly denied the attorney's anti-SLAPP motion to strike her claims because the attorney's actions in the underlying suit were protected by the anti-SLAPP statute since the plaintiff failed to establish that the challenged settlement negotiations were conducted illegally, and she had no probability of prevailing against the attorney's litigation privilege defense.
