P1348 An order granting a motion to strike a cause of action under the SLAPP statute (Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16) is separately appealable, so a notice of appeal from an award of attorney fees to the successful moving party does not institute an appeal from the order striking the cause of action; even if such a notice of appeal were liberally construed to include an appeal from the SLAPP order itself, it would not be timely unless filed within the period for appealing that order.CitationRUSSELL v FOGLIO (Late Appeal) 160 CA4 653 [See: CCP 425.16; Navellier v Sletten 29 C4 82, T/AT 10/02; PLCM v Drexler 22 C4 1084, T/AT 6/00]
