Jeff - When we first pointed out to the trial court judge that a stay was automatic pending the appeal of the denial of our Motion to Strike based on California's anti-SLAPP statute (CCP 425.16), only statuatory law required the stay of proceedings. As our case moved towards trial, other common laws such as Mattel v. Luce casp.net came into play. We constantly reminded the court that they were not following the law in forcing us to go to trial pending our appeal and were ignored. If our case becomes law on December 12, 2003 Varian will have decimated California's anti-SLAPP statute in that judges will be able to use Varian v. Delfino to ignore the stay and force defendants to pay for a trial which should not occur. Unless the Supremes choose to resolve the appellate conflict California's 35 million people will effectively have no anti-SLAPP protection. Our next book is entitled "Chaos".
