Trial courts canโ€™t override MSJ statute.

In CFP BDA, LLC v. Superior Court, the 4th DCA said: if your MSJ is timely under ยง 437c, local rules canโ€™t kill it. Period.

Court tried. Writ granted.

Metropolitan News-Enterprise Online Online edition of the Metropolitan News-Enterprise, a Los Angeles daily newspaper focusing on law and the courts, government, politics, business, and health.

In Mora v. Menjivar, the Court of Appeal confirms: a memo of points and authorities is part of your anti-SLAPP motion. File it within 60 days or youโ€™re out.

The motion isnโ€™t complete without it.
