B279738 Second Appellate District, Div. 5
Petition for review granted; issues limited
The petition for review is granted. The issue to be briefed and argued is limited to the following: How should it be determined what public issue or issue of public interest is implicated by speech within the meaning of the anti-SLAPP statute (Code of Civ. Proc., § 425.16, subd. (e)(4)) and the first step of the two-part test articulated in FilmOn.com Inc. v. DoubleVerify Inc. (2019) 7 Cal.5th 133, 149-150, and should deference be granted to a defendant's framing of the public interest issue at this step?
