P0751 After a city rejected a permit application on the ground that a judicial appeal was pending in a case involving a similar application, plaintiff's petition for administrative mandamus arose from the city's refusal to process the permit application, not from the city's prior lawsuit and appeal in a matter regarding permits, so there was no reasonable basis for the city's SLAPP motion, justifying an award of attorney fees to the party opposing it.CitationVISHER v CITY OF MALIBU (Permit Appeal) 126 CA4 364 [See: CCP 425.16; Mattel v Luce, Forward ... 99 CA4 1179, T/AT 8/02; Cotati v Cashman 29 C4 69, T/AT 10/02]
