Cabrera v Alam 197 Cal.App.4th 1077 (4/3) (2011) HOA election: Alam and Cabrera exchanged accusations at HOA’s annual meeting. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer C sued A for defamation, and A files anti-SLAPP motion, denied, reversed. [1] A’s comment in public forum (open HOA meeting), concerning an issue of limited scope public interest–candidate qualifications–made against a limited purpose public figure, is a protected activity. HOAs are quasi-governmental entities paralleling powers, duties and burdens of municipal government. [2] On § 425.16 2d prong, C, by injecting herself into the public controversy becomes a limited public figure. C then needs to show malice (actual knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard) to state defamation claim, and C produced no such evidence on Anti-SLAPP motion. San Diego personal injury attorney
