ORDER RE: NOTICE OF
ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s notice of additional authority, filed in opposition to a
previously-pending anti-SLAPP motion. (Docket No. 39.) The notice was submitted a few
hours before the Court granted that motion. (Docket No. 40.) However, like two ships passing
in the night, the Court neglected to take Plaintiff’s notice into account prior to issuing its order.
The cited authority does not change the Court’s analysis though, and it does not affect the
outcome of the motion. It merely reflects the result of an appeal in a related case. See Gelbard
v. Hummer, 2014 WL 2202761 (Cal. Ct. App. May 28, 2014). And while Gelbard does discuss
the elements of anti-SLAPP motions, it does not set forth any new rule for these motions, nor
does it run contrary to the Court’s earlier determination. Accordingly, the Court’s prior order
stands.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
