P1547 The SLAPP statute applies to an action arising from an allegedly unethical settlement offer, since it was a statement made in connection with a judicial proceeding; since the settlement offer was protected by the Litigation Privilege (Evidence Code section 47), plaintiff's inability to make out a prima facie case should result in granting of the SLAPP motion.CitationGENETHERA v TROY & GOULD (Unethical Offer) 171 CA4 901 [See: CCP 425.16; CivC 47; Rohde v Wolf 154 CA4 28, T/AT 9/07; Rubin v Green 4 C4 1187, T/AT 5/93; Jacob B v County 40 C4 948, T/AT 4/06; Rusheen v Cohen 37 C4 1048, T/AT 3/06]
